root volume is too full, even though i did not seperate partitions

I recently installed arch using the archinstall method and I have not chosen the option to seperate the /home, so I am not able to resize it using gparted live.
The problem I have now is that the root volume has no space, what should I do to resize the volumes?

How big did you make the root partition, exactly, and where's the rest of the space on your drive?

I have used the archinstall method and i should have like ~250GB of free space. It's like the root "partition" is set to 20GB and I can't change it using gparted live

Re: root volume is too full, even though i did not seperate partitions

there's a difference between the partition size and the filesystem size
if both differ it sounds likethe filesystem was original setup on the small partition, then the partition was resized but tge filesystem was not
can be fixed - should be done from scratch

note: archinstall is meant as a tool for experifnced users familiar with manual setup
if you're not familiar with how to setup arch the regular manual way you should start from scratch not using archinstall anyway
