I'm quite lost here so please if anyone has experience with this and can give somewhat precise instructions it will be much appreciated.
This is my setup: http://ompldr.org/vZ29mZQ
I would like to enlarge my home partition including that unallocated space.
I found some things on the web that could maybe be of help like
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Imple...isk_Encryption
http://www.enigmacurry.com/2007/04/2...up-filesystem/
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Re...ptedPartitions
Those instructions are still too cryptic (no pun intended) for me to have a proper image of what to do. What I semi-figured was that maybe it would be better if I just back up my /home, destroy current /home partition (/dev/sda5), re-create it larger and restore the back-up.
I have no external drive to place the back-up but I have enough room in / (/dev/sda3, not encrypted).
I already created a Clonezilla image and put there while trying that live-CD so that's why it's quite full on the gparted screenshot (the image has around 7G).
I asked a question on the Clonezilla forum so I could have an idea if I could use it to restore to a larger fresh partition: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clon.../topic/6468515
But I could use other method if required (like image the partition with gnome-disk-utility from a live-CD) and free up the space used by the Clonezilla image.
I kind of realize that if I had installed using LVMs it maybe would be easier to resize but I had trouble viewing LVM contents with live-CDs so I chose to not use it and still kept the encryption.
So, if anyone has experience with this and could give a sure path of what to do for me to accomplish that it would be great. Of course I can follow guides/instructions but at least I must know which one to follow ;-)

I'll just let go of the encryption and do a back-up/restore with luckybackup to an enlarged /home.
