How do I properly resize my LVM partitions when it is inside LUKS?
You need to provide more info...
You want to resize a logical volume? Growing or shrinking? Is it lvm on luks or luks on lvm?
@[email protected] LVM is inside LUKS. For some reason, resizing stops even though I unmounted the partition it is still being marked as "active". I disabled my SDDM and everything, rebooted, and still couldn't do it.
my reaction was "well... maybe there's something else holding this, LUKS maybe?"

Here's a fairly detailed article about it.
Haven't used LVM in a while, so I can't offer much insight there other than consider taking a backup of anything important.
It never occurred to me to attempt such a thing. I'd first try on a throwaway VM and virtual disk I guess. But resizing is already sort of a bad vibe. I'm trying to move towards being able to do full reinstalls more smoothly. That's still a work in progress though.
@Crazyslinkz oh I know how to extend it but having issues with the partitions being inside LUKS (encryption) so I... don't want to screw that part up and end up with something that doesn't boot.
