I would like to copy or expand my /home directory ... All tutorials talks about moving the home directory from a partition to another but the problem that I only have one partition that was more than 300 gigs (before I resize it and create a new partition) although I see 30 Gigs only on my home directory (4 Gigs left :( )

I resized it and created a new partition as you can see in the next image

I've tried booting from Ubuntu live CD and from a USB and what I can see in Gparted is exactly as in the picture below

I would like to move my home directory to the new partition of expand it.

This is a snapshot of what I can see on my Gparted (note: the new partition is never used I just created it)
