Convert primary partition to logical partition in linux
I have created new partition through Gparted in linux mint and now have used up all 4 primary partitions. Gparted directly created primary partition, the logical option was disabled.
So I cannot create any more partitions even though there is lot of free space on my disk.
How can I convert the data partition(non system related) to a logical partition, so that it frees up a primary one?
I would prefer a Linux solution, since I have recently switched to Mint 19.1 from Windows 10 though it is still present as dual boot.
