ROOT located on /dev/sdb6 with 3.0MB free (not good!) I want to
increase /dev/sdb6, obviously.

I booted to GParted and decreased the space on my OVERFLOW which is
/dev/sdb8. The space is now unallocated with 1.46GiB but I cannot
increase the size of /dev/sdb6. I also have 5.94GB unallocated on the
same drive.

/dev/sdb1 = ntfs 46.20 GB (I dual-boot, don't hate)
(unallocated space shows here in GParted) - I formatted this before and
it shows as /dev/sdb4
/dev/sdb3 = ext4

/dev/sdb2 = an extended partition
/dev/sdb5 = linux-swap (SWAP1)
/dev/sdb6 = ext4 (ROOT1)
/dev/sdb7 = ext4 (HOME)
/dev/sdb8 = ext4 (NEWSYS)
(unallocated space shows here in GParted)

How can I use the unallocated space to increase the space on /dev/sdb6?
I also have /dev/sda1, sda2, sda3 with a lot of free space but I believe
I cannot use it because it is on sda...

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Move sdb8 to the end of the drive, then move sdb7 up to it and then expand sdb6 into the space created
