Figuring out how to add space to fedora partition

[bedHedd]

Got it working! Using this

@ThatGuyB

You create a new partition using that space. I see that you already did /dev/nvme0n1p4, but it’s formatted as a Linux FS (probably ext4).

fdisk /dev/nvme0n1
t
## change type of a partition ##
4
## select partition 4 ##
30
## 30 is usually Linux LVM, make sure that is correct by pressing L before this ##
w
## write changed ##
q
## quit fdisk ##


vgextend fedora_localhost /dev/nvme0p1n4
## extending the volume group of which your root, swap and home logical volumes and partitions are part of ##
lvextend -L +60G /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-root
## expanding your root logical volume with 60GB
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-home
## expand your home logical volume with the rest of the available free space on the volume group named fedora_localhost ##

resize2fs /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-root
## actual resize of the root partition, in case you added 60 GB ##
## NOTE: resize2fs ONLY WORKS WITH EXT4 ##
resize2fs /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-home
## actual resize of the home partition ##

I reverted to a backup from my laptop using clonezilla

Bedhedd's fedora ssd migration

background I acquired a 500gb ssd during the summer and wanted to replace the 256gb (funny enough originally shipped with the laptop) that was currently in my desktop. The only issue was that I didn’t want to set up Fedora again. I had been procrastinating on competing this task as it was complex and I didn’t have a lot of free time. What final…

vgextend fedora_localhost /dev/nvme0p1n4

had to change it to
vgextend fedora_localhost-live /dev/nvme0n1p4

before running that would lead to a device not found

vgextend fedora_localhost /dev/nvme0p1n4
