i have structure of my hdd, like this:

Device          Start        End    Sectors    Size Type
/dev/sdb1          40       2048       2009 1004.5K BIOS boot
/dev/sdb2        4096  409602047  409597952  195.3G Linux RAID
/dev/sdb3   409602048 5859477503 5449875456    2.6T Linux filesystem
/dev/sdb4  5859477504 5860524031    1046528    511M Linux swap

I want to delete /dev/sdb3 and delete swap area /dev/sdb4 and create two partitions with sizes 2.5T and 1T for Linux filesystem. How can i do this via linux utils, like fdisk and without using of live cd utilities, because this is a remote machine, and i don't have IPMI or VNC.

if sdb3 is your root(/) filesystem, You cannot reduce the while is mounted, if not you can delete the partition using parted recreate again – c4f4t0r Mar 03 '18 at 22:22
can you show us `mount`? – Tomáš Pospíšek Mar 03 '18 at 22:46
You should just be able to unmount `/dev/sdb3` and `/dev/sdb4` and then use `fdisk` to delete them and create new partitions. – Nasir Riley Mar 04 '18 at 00:19
