Here’s what I did: I bought a new 512 GB SSD to replace my old 256 GB SSD, which was getting full. I put the new SSD in an NVME to USB adapter and then booted to a Fedora 38 live USB and cloned the old drive into the new drive using dd if=/dev/nvme0n1 of=/dev/sda
. Then I used gparted
to expand the LUKS partition to cover the rest of the disk. I did not have to unlock the encryption for this. After that, I powered off, removed the 256 GB SSD and installed the 512 GB SSD, then booted normally. I did not erase either of the SSDs.
Now when I get into Fedora 38, GNOME Disks reports that /dev/mapper/luks-5e5f911c...
is a 511 GB ext4 partition with 80 GB free, and /dev/nvme0n1p3
is a 511 GB LUKSv2 partition, but when I run df
, this is what I see:
nate@redgate:~$ df / -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/luks-5e5f911c... 233G 159G 63G 72% /
What did I do wrong?

Well, not really. Someone on Reddit told me the solution.
Still counts 😹 software is all made by people after all, sometimes you just have to learn from others
