Unable to see "root", resize, in Gparted Live CD
by ziphem from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6E6S3)
Hello!
I usually have about 15-20% empty space on my root partition. But when I don't reboot my computer, at times, I run out of space. I'd like to expand partition space to have more room- adding another, say, 30 GB, bringing total to 80 GB (from 50 GB).
I booted into GParted Live DVD, but was not able to change any partition sizes. I provide the structure below:
nvme0n1
nvme0n1p1 vfat FAT16 DE24-F1C2
nvme0n1p2 ext4 1.0 0c228919-d266-432d-
nvme0n1p3 LVM2_member LVM2 001 l0U4Vf-b2at-3tt6-
fedora-root ext4 1.0 d06d3cbc-95b1-493e-
fedora-swap swap 1 ed083ee0-0163-4c89-bb65-
fedora-home ext4 1.0
/dev/mapper/fedora-root 50G 37G 9.6G 80% /
To note, the above three nvme0n1p1,2,3 are showing in GParted
Thinking this through some more, am I going about this the wrong way? I saw a post about changing a logical volume size via CLI (https://superuser.com/questions/9179...-lvm-partition)
Should I do something like boot into the Fedora Live Boot CD, and then lvreduce on fedora-home and then lvextend on fedora-root (a-la https://www.golinuxcloud.com/lvm-shr...ical-volume/)?
Running Fedora 38.
Thanks so much for any guidance!
