    Increasing /opt within Fedora 28

    PS check out the attached image, the same installation on a Windows 10 VM (virtual machine) {also running on 4GB of RAM} took over 5 hours!

    Increasing /opt within Fedora 28

    Thanks for the reply, 'atanere' but I've solved it with the command resize2fs /dev/fedora_localhost-live/root from the terminal pane/window. Essentially as in my reply to the "Wizard from Oz", /opt is 'hiding' inside /root, thanks again for the input.

    Increasing /opt within Fedora 28

    I need 27.32GB to install an application in /opt but disc space available is 8.57: a bit of a discrepancy! Unfortunately (?) Fedora 28 uses lvm2 so 'gparted' isn't much good. NB: Fedora 28 is set up in a VirtualBox within an iMac host running macOS Sierra with the following 'virtual size'...
