in my computer I have several partitions. I have one partition with Fedora that had just below 40 Gb of space, and which I wanted to make bigger. Therefore, using gparted, I moved 10 Gb from another partition to the Fedora partition. Now, according to Gparted, I should have just below 50 Gb (see sda 12) However, from Fedora itself the available space looks different:This was the same space that was available before I resized the partition. How do I make that space actually available to Fedora?
Available space not changing when resizing the partition
partition;gparted
You've enlarged the partition on disk, but there is a stack of containers which need to be told about the change before you can use it.First, you need to tell LVM (the logical volume manager) to use the extra space (gparted may have done this already, but this step won't hurt if done multiple times):pvresize /dev/sda12You should now see extra free space when you runvgsto list the available volume groups (one of which will be using /dev/sda12). You can now add space to the / partition; this involves resizing the logical volume itself, then the contained filesystem. lvextend is used to perform the first step, and it can delegate the second to fsadm itself, so one command should do the trick:lvextend -r -L+10G fedora/rootNow your root filesystem should show 10GB more free space!
