Hello,
On upgrade to Fedora 41, I got stuck due to lack of space on "/"
partition. I had an unused partition that was more than double the size
of the present root partition.
I rsyncd the data across to the new partition
sudo rsync -avPAHXx --numeric-ids --exclude="lost+found"
-exclude="home" --exclude="boot" / /mnt/TEMP/
The above line was recommended on a web page.
I made sure the partition was in the crypttab file.
I did a test mount of the drive using fstab into the /mnt/TEMP directory.
I changed the setting in /etc/fstab to the new partition and rebooted.
Failed.
I did other stuff and finally changed /etc/default/grub to point to the
new partition and remade the grub.cfg file.
System boots into basic.target and freezes.
This is still in f39.
There must be an "official" procedure to do this.
Somewhere there is a setting that points to the present root drive that
I cannot change.
If there is no official way, I do know that there is a suggestion to
just change the UUID's for the drives which I think is not the best option.
Robin
