Gonna start this off by saying someone needs to fucking lobotomize me.

LVM was used by archinstall to automatically partition my drive. It used LVM and I'll never let archinstall partition my drive for me again.

My root is 20gb right now (although it says 50 here) and my /home is taking everything else up. I need to shrink my home and resize my root.

Someone help me... please 😭
