Shrinking home and extending root partition

General
#1

Hello,
my Sony xperia have in root 2 GB memory, that is to low for the next system update.

Is this link still valid to enlarge the root and shrinking home partition?

I don’t want to reinstall the next update completely, as Jolla suggests for 4.6, so that the root partition is enlarged, because then I have to reinstall all programs again, or am I seeing something wrong?

They did? Huh, hadn’t seen that. My upgrade did not go well. I think I’d recommend doing it from the command line with @olf’s script: sfos-upgrade | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System

Anyhow, I though the current instructions for expanding the root partition are on docs.sailfishos.org, but it appears they are here: Expand root partition | SailfishOS community wiki and here: olf (Olf0) (Olf0) / SailfishX on Xperias · GitLab

Thanks for the link. I’ll do it on a weekend with plenty of time so I don’t make a mistake.
