Solved Fedora Block Device Full How - Extend Partition
-
I'm late to the party. But the root is HUGE for Linux. We normally use 12GB. 20GB is the largest I would use. Why are you extending that? What's the goal in having the root be so large?

Agreed.
All of my templates are 15 for root and /var, /var/log, /var/log/audit, and /tmp are their own LVs. Var is different on some machines depending on what's installed but each is pretty small. Like 2 GB or so.

Whoever first set it up (it wasn't @DustinB3403), just dropped everything onto the root partition. Against every best practice ever written/known for Unix/Linux.

Yes, the intern before setup the system before me, and while it isn't ideal, the system works.
I just need more space to add an additional image. Which is what we worked on yesterday. I've got to test today to see if the image upload worked, which I plan to do in a few minutes.

Still, that doesn't create a need for expanding the root in most cases.

If I would have known this before helping to fix a broken system... hindsight sadly.
