Hello cwhitmore
I’m sorry to break it to you, but you stepped on the hoe!
I appreciate your behavior, that you modestly and sincerely say that you do not have the knowledge and experience.
No one is born learned and everyone learns while living! This forum and the Linux community prove it.
You are not happy about that, but the fact that “neil” intervene is indicative that the scribbles on the forum are read by “Infrastructure Team Lead” and it was you who helped to fix a malfunction!
Take an example of me. If “neil” hadn’t intervened (thanks for that!) you don’t think I would have paid attention to the partition numbering and looked right there after you even showed it!?
For me, / is the last partition and the expand is correct and works. But that doesn’t mean I missed that detail. I missed her! My mistake. And I didn’t know that partition concatenation creates a problem when expand a filesystem. My situation is this:
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/vda: 20 GiB, 21474836480 bytes, 41943040 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

So it’s all good!
Life goes on.
And you helped! Thanks for you and “neil”.
And I learned something I didn’t know despite my failure.
Missing command updatedb - install it.
command:
dnf provides updatedb
return:
mlocate-0.26-30.el9.x86_64 : An utility for finding files by name
Repo : @System
. . .
dnf install mlocate
After that:
updatedb
Right at the top of the forum there are many useful things.
A very good starting point for anyone, including me!
