Increase Root Partition Size from /home.
I created a separate /home and I dont need that any data just want to Increase Root Partition / Size from /home

[root@jaydul /]# df -h

Can I just un-Mount /home or anything more
umount -fl /home

Perhaps the program GParted could provide you some assistance.

I want done via Unmount the partition Use the option d to delete a partition.Like this way Because server is running and I cann add live CD my VPS

Thank you

Simply deleting the partition is a bad idea - could be done from single user mode safely, but not while any user(s) is logged in. And of course any data becomes un-reachable. Won't help in this case anyway, as to increase a partition requires the unallocated space to be contiguous to (immediately alongside) that partition.
gparted liveCD is the best means - I'd shrink (or move elsewhere) the swap and use that space to increase the root. Hopefully gparted won't change the UUID, but I haven't checked. Note also you could easily reduce the boot partition by several Gig and use that if the swap was moved elsewhere.

I agree But I dont use/home so I want back into main partition So I can get 10GB under /root now Here is /root 5GB and /home 5GB./root is full so want to Resize Partition with /root and /home back into main partition like /root ir / root here is files and I dont have backup.

I would back up /home, delete everything in /home, dump /usr into the /home partition, delete everything currently in /usr, edit /etc/fstab to reflect the new /usr partition, and mount the old home to /usr.

Dump the /home backup into the directory /home. You can't just do away with /home.

/usr is the largest directory for a desktop system. /var might grow larger on a server. So, if /var is larger than /usr, then do what I said with /var.

This might seem obvious, but have you checked why your root partition is full? You might be able to clean up logs, sources, backups, or remove unused software. Then you will not have to resize anything. Advice is being given about what should be done with the partition table without all the information...

My system running ISPmanager they need 10GB on / root i delete logs and Server is up and running.Need to Increase Root Partition Size from /home.
deleting partition /home and add /

I would think the best option in the current state would be to use GParted from a 'Live' system to resize (shrink) your boot partition to about 500MB. Not sure why you would have a boot partition the same size as your /? Your boot only uses 207MB. Your swap partition (per fdisk) appears to be larger than /, which is a little weird so deleting it and creating it elsewhere on the Extended partition would work but you would also need to create unallocated space. shrinking your /home partition. You do understand that if you delete your /home partition (sda5) which is on a logical partition, that will change your /var partition from sda6 to sda5 as deleting any logical partition will change the number of logical partitions with a 'higher' number to one number lower.

Additionally, as pointed out above, you can't add /home to / because they are not continguous and / is a primary and /home is a logical partition. It's possible but convoluted and the suggestion above with regard to changing /boot and swap would be the simplest.

If it was mine, I'd flush the logs and whatever else could be deleted from / to make room for /boot/'s content, then boot Knoppix, move the content from sda1 to /boot/ on sda3, delete sda1 and sda2, create a new swap sda1, grow sda3 into the space vacated by sda2, reconfigure fstab, reconfigure/reinstall bootloader, and still have separate /home and /var while nearly doubling size of /. Only if nearly twice as much space on / were not enough would I delete sda5 and grow sda3 into its space.

How much RAM is on this box? Could it be that swap is oversized and could be reduced to add space to /?

5GB /boot is clearly wasteful. Largest /boot/ I ever had was about 800MB. Largest I now have is 400MB.
