how do I give more space to root? [solved]

[sharp cargo]

uh
you extend the filesystem that contains
root

tho idk what the layout looks like so i cant help much

parted /dev/yourdrive -s print free

.s rs

[tall shard]

<command to print output> |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs

[sharp cargo]

remove the 2

parted /dev/sda -s print free

ok
since i dont want you to fuck this up
id advice to go download ubuntu or linux mint iso
and use gparted from there

[sharp cargo]

cus that layout
needs moving
which takes long depending on the speed of your drive
moving is also a dangerous operation since if it gets interrupted
the partition being moved (which will be sda3 in this case) is gone

partitions acts like blocks in a line so you cant really extend if the partition without the free space next to it
and you can only extend/shrink at the end of the partition
which is why when extending at the start it's actually moving then extending

[quartz scroll]

why not just use gparted iso

[sharp cargo]

or that, but ive heard stuff about it not booting

[quartz scroll]

oh
it worked for me idk

[sharp cargo]

aight
now
shrink sda3 from the left
and extend sda2 from the right
then apply changes with the checkmark

the shrinking part will take long btw since it's actually shrinking then moving

no

you used archinstall right?

if so then that's most likely your /home

[quartz scroll]

i think to apply changes its ctrl enter

or just choose the second column in the top left corner

[sharp cargo]

as long as it isnt the esp it should be fine
either way
we can just reinstall grub if it turns out it wont boot

oh
that should be good then

[quartz scroll]

it says that bc it messes with uuids

since its actually just making a new partition

[sharp cargo]

no it isnt

[quartz scroll]

probably

[sharp cargo]

shrinking from the left
is shrinkin and moving

[quartz scroll]

but im pretty sure it changes the uuid or something similar

[quartz scroll]

isnt moving just copying and deleting or something similar

[sharp cargo]

the partuuid

but not the fsuuid

[quartz scroll]

oh maybe so idk

[sharp cargo]

if someone uses partuuid for identifying disk

[quartz scroll]

what's wrong with that

[sharp cargo]

just as you said
it changes with little operations
even extending a partition
it changes

oh that's faster than what i expected, is this an ssd?

[quartz scroll]

oh

is this a question
