I currently have a kludged boot partition, it boots fine but otherwise it's 100GB of unuseable space. I want to move the boot loader to the active partition and reformat the 100GB section. But wonder how. Is this a job for supergrubdisk?

I need a visual, you should be able to accomplish this with gparted or (discs, disc partition editor..it has another name officially but shows up as something different in Unity, Gnome, and KDE, all while being the same program.

I am not sure what your setup is, and what you want to do...Open Gparted and pic it...

Code: Select all

sudo gparted

If not installed...

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gparted

It is quite possible you have never posted a picture, after you prtscr, go to where that shot is, and rename it if it looks like this

to something, preferably without spaces, and maybe a little shorter, like..screen, or snapshot, or booger

Then go to upload, find the pic, and upload it, afterwards an option will come up to place inline, this will appear where your writing cursor is on the screen.

This is system breaking territory, and it is quite easy to lose all of your information, being new to partitioning, you may want to make sure you back up whatever you find most precious to another drive, or wherever.

I really would be cautious with this.

Sir, are you stating that your /boot is 100GB? Please post a pic of your /etc/fstab so we can further advise. Just open it with your file manager and take a screenshot like so:
