Hello, Hopefully I haven't missed this discussion in other posts but after searching a bit I am not finding any about my specific issue.
My problem is that I have a Block Device that is apparently the home of my filesystem and is 128 gb in size with about 40 GB free. I recently upgraded my internal ssd to a 500GB and then restored it from a clone of the 128GB SSD that was previously installed.
My hope was that there would be more space on the restored SSD obviously which is why I upgraded. But the Block Device remains at 128GB and I am unnable to use the remaining disk space on my Linux installation.
Is there a way to resize the Block Device to match the SSD size without erasing the installation and reinstalling from scratch?
I am using LVM and LUKS encryption on the internal 500GB SSD.
