So it's not mounted.

Okay. I don't know why gparted shows that. I've got no use for this
tool.

If it's not mounted, why are you trying to unmount it?

Yes. You'll first need to move it, so that it starts at, say, cylinder
3826. After that's done, you'll be able to make the partition larger.

Yes, that should be possible. I think you might be able to do that with
gparted, but I'm actually not that sure. As I wrote, I've got no use for
such a tool, as I always use LVM and strongly suggest to do so!
