Hello Garuda people 
I installed my Garuda system on a 512GB SSD.
I needed more space so I cloned my 512GB SSD to a 1TB SSD using a POP!_OS live usb.
I successfully booted into the system with the bigger SSD but I have one problem.
The partitions remained exactly the same, so my main filesystem partition remains at about 480GB and I got about 512GB of unallocated space.
I proceeded to extend the btrfs partition to fully max out the empty unallocated space on the SSD. I did that using GParted on a POP!_OS live system again. Worked without issues.
But there is an issue: btrfs doesn't want to accept that. My file system stays at the same old size and I tried everything to tell btrfs to expand the filesystem. Nothing worked.
I tried commands like
btrfs filesystem resize max /
and
btrfs filesystem balance start /
but whatever I do, btrfs still tells me the same device size:
# btrfs device usage /
/dev/disk/by-uuid/fcfdfbec-fbc2-4e48-892c-4e04e2a0d9d4, ID: 1
Device size: 476.64GiB
Device slack: 2.00KiB
Data,single: 421.00GiB
Metadata,DUP: 7.60GiB
System,DUP: 64.00MiB
Unallocated: 47.97GiB
I already looked into Resizing Garuda partition using unallocated space from windows in dual boot and Extending partition in Garuda and other articles on the internet.
Whatever I try, btrfs simply doesn't want to accept that (I get no errors)
