I think you mean your / partition, not /root, right?

Re: Resize /root and /home

You cannot resize filesystems while they are mounted and unmounting / partition is not easy to do, so you will probably be best using a bootable disk with gparted on it. I think there is a gparted live and there is also parted magic, both should work pretty well.

How is it possible that I only saw that site now? Is somebody hiding all the good stuff from me?

Running arch is like raising a puppy - if you spend a bit of time with it each day and do just a bit of training you'll end up with the most loyal partner you could want; if you lock it in a room and don't check on if for several days, it'll tear apart your stuff and poop everywhere.
