Modify root partition size on Fedora

Boot up with Fedora Live USB stick.

  1. Run vgs to check your VG name and if there's any space:
$ sudo vgs
  VG       #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize    VFree   
  fedora30   1   4   0 wz--n- <472.63g <100.63g

Your VG name could be fedora, fedora30, you set it up when first installing Fedora.

  1. Run these commands :
lvresize -L +5G --resizefs /dev/mapper/fedora30-root

Check where your fedora root and home partition by running fdisk -l If you have not enough space, you can reduce the size of other partitions first.
