[Solved] Stuck enlarging an encrypted volume with dm-crypt and LUKS

Qwerty-Space · 2020-07-11 02:55:18

Hello

I recently moved from Windows to Arch, after playing around with Manjaro for a year or so on my laptop. And in doing so had to transfer 1.2TB of data to a new partition on the same drive.
I encrypted the new partition using this guide on the Arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm … cryptsetup

I formatted with btrfs due to some of the features it provides.
And now I need to expand that partition so that I have access to the whole drive. One problem... Every guide mentions resizing LVM, but I didn't use LVM, so I am a bit stuck, and confuse.
I used gparted to expand the partition, and I read that LUKS just fills the entire partition if it can, but lsblk -f reports that there's <300 GB left, which can't be right.

What should I do?

Don't you just use `btrfs resize`? That's supposed to be one of the advantages of btrfs...

btrfs fileystem usage isn't showing the entire drive

Ah, doing btrfs filesystem resize max /mnt/data, and then btrfs filesystem usage is now showing the rest of the drive as unallocated

So I think it's working now! Thank you
