If I understand your requirement correctly, resize2fs is probably what you are looking for.

Possible without data loss? Or is there any guide?

On ext4, live extend is possible. For ext3 and below I suggest doing this in single user mode or so with on an unmounted partition.
This is what you should do:

1. Use fdisk to delete and recreate partition which you need to extend. The last cylinder will be new (extended) value.
2. Use resize2fs to extend ext4 partition. Usage is simple, resize2fs <partition>.

If done properly, there won't be any data loss (trust me).

Easiest way for a newbie is to mount a GParted Live ISO and boot. Expand the partition via GUI. Then lvextend if using LVM, and then resize2fs.
