I ran into an issue with my root partition being too small. My plan was to reduce the size of my home partition and increase the size of my root partition. Here is what I have done:
First, I rebooted in single user mode. Then I did the following: # mount / -rw -o remount # amount /home umount: /home: not mounted. # fsck -f /dev/mapper/debian --vg-home fsck from util-linux 2.38.1 e2fsck 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Inode 8803015 extent tree (at level 1) could be shorter. Optimize<y>? yes Inode 8919578 extent tree (at level 1) could be shorter. Optimize<y>? yes Inode 9328852 extent tree (at level 1) could be shorter. Optimize<y>? yes Inode 11273442 extent tree (at level 1) could be shorter. Optimize<y>? yes Pass 1E: Optimizing extent trees Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information /dev/mapper/debian--vg-home: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** /dev/mapper/debian--vg-home: 329100/29302784 files (1.8% non-contiguous), 12560416/117196800 blocks # fsck -f /dev/mapper/debian--vg-home fsck from util-linux 2.38.1 e2fsck 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information /dev/mapper/debian--vg-home: 329100/29302784 files (1.8% non-contiguous), 12560416/117196800 blocks # resize2fs /dev/mapper/debian--vg-home 400G resize2fs 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023) Resizing the filesystem on /dev/mapper/debian--vg-home to 104857600 (4k) blocks.

THIS MAY DESTROY YOUR DATA (filesystem etc.) Do you really want to reduce debian--vg/home? [y/n]: y Size of logical volume debian--vg/home changed from 447.07 GiB (114450 extents) to 408.07 GiB (104466 extents). Logical volume debian--vg/home successfully resized. This is where I am stalled. The prompt has not come back and I have been waiting about 10.5 hours. Is it normal for this to take this long? Should I just be patient? Or has something gone wrong? I am not sure what to do at this point. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Jonathan -- Jonathan Wiebe Our passions are there to drive us to act, not to be the seasoning of our emotional stew.
