During the upgrade of Fedora 38 to Fedora 39 (beta) on my main desktop, the first attempt failed due to insufficient free disk space on the root volume. After some manual intervention such as vacuuming the journald logs, I was able to perform the successful upgrade. Not that it matters, but I’m writing this blog post on the same desktop running Fedora 39 Beta. This post is to record how I increase the root volume on my desktop with the help of a few tools such as growpart, lsblk, resize2fs,…etc....

One of the logical volumes on my desktop is running out of space. I want to add 200GB to that volume. Here is one way to achieve this task. First a bit of warning. Don’t, or never, just copy and paste what you see here if you want to apply it to your own system. You may accidentally destroy your precious data. # lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert backup data -wi-ao---- 200....
