This is probably more of a usage question, but I will go ahead and answer it.
If you are writing to the root drive you may need to run the sync command a few times to make sure that the data has been flushed to disk before you kick off the migration. The confirm resize step should be deleting the old data, but there may be a bug in the lvm backend if this isn’t happening. Live(block) migration will probably be a bit more intuitive.
