I have recently increased my home partition's size using GParted, from ~10GB to 150GB.

lsblk outputs the following

sda                                             8:0    0 238.5G  0 disk

However disk usage only shows the initial ~10GB size (pre-resize)

Hope someone knows what the problem is, haven't found a solution anywhere. Thanks in advance!

  • Did GParted report success on "grow file system to fill partition" after expanding the partition? BTW, Welcome to Ask Ubuntu -- please be sure to take the [tour] and read over the [FAQ] to better understand how Stack Exchange works. – Zeiss Ikon Jul 08 '21 at 17:56
  • @ZeissIkon yes, this was not the first time I've extended a partition, but it was the first time it went wrong. Thanks, I'll read it. – Miguel Jul 08 '21 at 18:06

    You are using LVM. So multiple commands required. https://askubuntu.com/questions/196125/how-can-i-resize-an-lvm-partition-i-e-physical-volume – oldfred Jul 08 '21 at 18:50
  • @oldfred GParted is supposed to work with LVM... I might just abandon encryption and start over, too much trouble... – Miguel Jul 08 '21 at 22:36
