[SOLVED] Resize root directory w/o wiping all fs

Hello community,
I run an issue w/ size of root directory. Actually my / directory is 20G, but I would like to increase the size up to 100G, because today I couldn’t upgrade my system.
I tried to resize partitions w/ gparted over live USB and Ubuntu on it, but I got error FUTURE C12, and problem w/ version of e2fsck. Can you help me?

Manually doing this will most likely require you to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fdisk# … partitions - what's an awesome way to shred your data

EITHER APPROACH MANDATES A BACKUP!

However, before we do any of this:

Cause most likely you never did https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … kage_cache

Thank you, I think my error was that I used Ubuntu 22 and not 23. And thank you for hook to clean up the cache
