If you are extending your system drive (/), I believe you can only extend it by booting up into a "live cd" version/boot off a flashed USB stick. In my case I had to boot off the ubuntu USB stick, do the "Try ubuntu" option, do terminal command "sudo apt install mtools", launch gparted and then I could extend my system drive to use up the remaining space. I went from an image of a 128GB SSD that I cloned onto a new 1TB and this approach worked.
hi I have an old sever with 6 x146gb discs in raid 5 and want to clone it to a new server with 4 1tb discs nothing is set up yet the new server is blank any advice or help, I've never done anything like this before. basically I want to make the new server the same as the old server with all my data and sites on it.

Linux newbie alert! I assume if you clone to a smaller drive (I'm planning to clone my 160gb hdd to a 120gb SSD) then you don't need to fiddle with gparted?

Really helpful, thank you for making this walkthrough.
Glad it was helpful!

Your video is like walking into a movie halfway over. How did you get to the opening screen?
Very good question
he's running Clonezilla off a bootable usb...
We need more Linux information from you, I have mint, I love mint, but I know a SSD will run fast
Please, how install "clonezilla" to ,xubuntu?????????
You don't. You boot straight into Clonezilla from a USB stick or CD/DVD as a live system.
my dell xps refuses to boot into clonezilla.. must be the uefi business

Unfortunately you cannot clone to a smaller drive, well not easily. I recommend trying to get a bigger SSD if you want an easy life.
