It looks like my partition table are all screwed up and of course now when I'm at a loss for disk space I'm realizing a huge mistake. I don't think all of my disk space was allocating when I first installed and partitioned setting up LVM. from what I see I have about 200GB of space I can add to vg_root but I'm unsure what the risk or impact is with my current vg_root at 100%

lsblk

I'm thinking lvextend can expand the vg but as I said I'm unsure of the implication and I don't want to loose my data...

cat /etc/lsb-release

using a VM I created another test instance and verified extending the VG, then extending the filesystem solved my problem, it seems :)
