It is possible to resize the root partition in Linux, even if you are actively booted into the installation that resides on the partition. Ordinarily, hard drive partitioning changes should only be carried out on unmounted partitions and hard drive space that is not being actively used.
However, in a situation where you need to change the root partition size, and can’t load into a different installation environment to carry out the changes, you may have no other choice but to resize the root partition while it is still mounted and and the computer is booted into it.
