Hmm... I'll try it whenever I get my new comp prolly. Or something. Now isn't great time for me to do so.

quick casual ddg-lite search for "luks2 grow partition" gave multiple results.

here is a random one:

I have a luks2 installation of devuan, I disk cloned it from a qcow2 image, but when I copied it, it leaves a lot of unused space.

I tried to use cfdisk /dev/sda

in order to reclaim space. It would work in my other distro (Hyperbola)

But it doesn't seem to do so for me in devuan 4. Weird as it might be.

Anyone know how I can add the unused space to home?

Like say I have 50G being UnUsed. and only 440 of 490 space is being used. I want to put the other 50 in to /home.

How would I do this with or without loading a live iso?
