Why shouldn’t it? Even if it is Arch and not Gentoo, it uses the same LVM software as Gentoo does. Maybe a slightly different version, but not too different to cause compat issues. > I may have a old copy around here somewhere. > Could put it on that Ventoy thingy. See if that works.

I recently embiggened the root partition on one of my machines and it worked like you said. Add extents, auto-extend the FS, done: thinkpad / # resize2fs /dev/mapper/tp-home resize2fs 1.47.2 (1-Jan-2025) The filesystem is already 26214400 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do! Can you reduce your running system’s footprint? As in log out of KDE and go to a tty. Maybe something causes a lock. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network. “First off, I’d suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards, and NOT read it.
