Topic: partition </dev/sda1> in brown colour

GParted displays the partition </dev/sda1> in brown colour which I want to divide it to two partitions.

And it displays the partition </dev/sdb> in white colour.

I can not decrease the size of partition </dev/sda1> more than 192 MiB !!!


What does this mean??


Could you advise please.


Kind regards,

Roy Rojava.
