Give me any advices, please. reading along there, it says to reboot or use ... the simple answer to me is to reboot. you have backups and rescue media if needed right? songbird

That's what "resize2fs" is for (NOTE: I've assumed you have an ext4 file system on sda2-Debian: otherwise you'll need another command). It will default to your (new) partition size, so just giving it the device name should work. Back up your valuable data first!
