Topic: Can't grow EFI partition on GParted Live USB
Originally the EFI partition was 100 MB. I was able to move 400MB unallocated space into the partition but I cannot actually resize/grow the partition. Can you please help?
256GB SSD:
/dev/sda1 fat32 /boot/efi flags: boot
/dev/sda2 ext4 linux mint
/dev/sda4 ext4 xubuntu
Thanks!
