Hi I installed garuda in my 512GB nvme in my hp victus alongside of windows 10.

I checked the encrypt the system option in the install.

lsblk

Then I got 4 partition

  1. EFI
  2. Microsoft reserve probably
  3. C drive main windows partion
  4. Garuda

then i ran out of space in the main drive of garuda
so I shrink windwos drive and created a new partion but my garuda root and home partion is still fulll therefore I cant install any apps from pacman.

So is there anyway to extentd luks partion withouth lvm(idk anything about lvm I dont even know that it is setup in my system,)

Typically a Btrfs system will not use LVM. It is either impractical or impossible, I’m actually not actually sure which.

Did you save a lot of files to the drive, or is something else happening? Please post the output of:

lsblk -o name,size,fstype,fssize,fsused,fsuse%,mountpoints

Creating a new partition is not an action that will solve this issue on its own, you will have to take an additional action such as moving some files or even mount points. First though, is a separate partition what you want or do you want to make the existing partition larger?

Less problematic is to encrypt only what requires encryption.
But that is not the topic, it would be nice if you would follow the template and supply your garuda-inxi.

Hmm, this does not look right. There should be more mount points for the subvolumes, and the filesystem information you requested is all missing. I don’t even see / anywhere. Is this drive mounted correctly?

Can you post

lsblk -f

and

cat /etc/fstab
