Basically, if you don&#39;t see &#39;/home&#39; listed next to anything under the &#39;Mounted On&#39; column, then it&#39;s under root.<br/><br/>With an LVM setup remember that you logical volumes which contain the filesystems. You&#39;ll need to change the sizes of things in the correct order (shrink the filesystem before reducing the logical volume, extend the logical volume before growing the filesystem).<br/><br/>Here&#39;s the gist of what you need to do:<br/>1. Unmount the /srv filesystem.<br/>2. Reduce the logical volume with the lvreduce command (use the ---resizefs command to shrink the filesystem). You can mount the /srv filesystem again after doing so.<br/><a href="https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/logical_volume_manager_administration/lv_reduce">https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/logical_volume_manager_administration/lv_reduce</a><br/>3. Extend the root volume with the lvextend command.<br/><a href="https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/logical_volume_manager_administration/lv_extend">https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/logical_volume_manager_administration/lv_extend</a><br/>4. Extend the root filesystem with resize2fs.<br/><a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/24027/how-can-i-resize-an-ext-root-partition-at-runtime">https://askubuntu.com/questions/24027/how-can-i-resize-an-ext-root-partition-at-runtime</a><br/><br/>Alternatively, instead of allocating the space to the root volume you could create a new logical volume for the home partition. To accomplish this, you still need to perform steps 1 and 2 above to free up the space. Then you can do the following:<br/>1. Use lvcreate to create a new logical volume: <a href="https://commandmasters.com/commands/lvcreate-linux/">https://commandmasters.com/commands/lvcreate-linux/</a><br/>2. Create a filesystem on the logical volume:<br/><a href="https://www.golinuxcloud.com/create-filesystem-partition-linux-lvm/">https://www.golinuxcloud.com/create-filesystem-partition-linux-lvm/</a><br/>3. Mount the filesystem somewhere other than home.<br/>4. Copy/move the files contained within the /home directory into the new filesystem. Make sure to preserve permissions.<br/>5. Unmount the filesystem from its temporary mountpoint, mount it at /home, modify your /etc/fstab file to add the /home mountpoint for the new filesystem.<br/><br/>Probably should say to be careful when doing this. Mistakes may result in data loss or situations where the system won&#39;t boot which may be challenging to troubleshoot. 2025-12-12T14:50:09Z
