From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do I properly resize my LVM partitions when it is inside LUKS?

Do I have to boot in a USB to do it or can it be done while the crypt is open/being used? I need to resize my root partition.

Haven't used LVM in a while, so I can't offer much insight there other than consider taking a backup of anything important.

It never occurred to me to attempt such a thing. I'd first try on a throwaway VM and virtual disk I guess. But resizing is already sort of a bad vibe. I'm trying to move towards being able to do full reinstalls more smoothly. That's still a work in progress though.
