How do I properly resize my LVM partitions when it is inside LUKS?

Do I have to boot in a USB to do it or can it be done while the crypt is open/being used? I need to resize my root partition.

#linux #lvm #luks @linux

    Haven’t used LVM in a while, so I can’t offer much insight there other than consider taking a backup of anything important.

      It never occurred to me to attempt such a thing. I’d first try on a throwaway VM and virtual disk I guess. But resizing is already sort of a bad vibe. I’m trying to move towards being able to do full reinstalls more smoothly. That’s still a work in progress though.
