I did an server install of Centos 9 and let the installer do automatic partitioning and it set it up like this with a massive /home partition and a tiny / partition, how to I shrink the /home partition to expand the almost full / partition?
df -h

Re: Repartitioning
Since the default filesystem is xfs and that cannot be shrunk you will need to back up the data, umount /home, lvresize it, reformat it, remount it and then restore the data.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Repartitioning
Why your '/' is full? What consumes the space?
Applications should not take that much ... except perhaps some really big commercial packages (games?).
If you do have data, like database, website, containers, etc, their subdirectories could be mounted from
other filesystems. Such division makes also reinstall easier.

Master server backups, probably easiest to move /huntingdon-backup to /home/huntingdon-backup
du -h / --max-depth 1
186M /boot
0 /dev
70G /home
0 /proc
149M /run
0 /sys
4.0K /tmp
21M /etc
76K /root
12G /var
1.4G /usr
0 /afs
0 /media
0 /mnt
0 /opt
0 /srv
54G /huntingdon-backup
462M /home-potassium
0 /nsa320s-backup
Re: Repartitioning
Indeed.
Personally, I do like bind-mounts as means to hide where data really is - no need to tamper service config or selinux. Then again /home has its own selinux rules. Not that any of that matters with that backup.
PS. The du has flags, like -x, to not look at "other" filesystems.
