Using default installation options, I just installed Fedora Server 40 on a 256GB hard disk. Somehow, the root partition, /, has only 15GB, while there is a free 236.9GB area. (Unlike Fedora, CentOS will automatically use the entire disk for the root partition.)
Can the root partition be resized with the remaining free disk space? Thanks.
$lsblk
nvme0n1 259:0 0 238.5G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 600M 0 part /boot/efi
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 1G 0 part /boot
└─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 236.9G 0 part ===> free space
└─fedora-root 252:0 0 15G 0 lvm / ===> only 15GB

From Fedora community(https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/root-partition-only-15gb-how-to-utilize-the-rest/71573/6), one verified solution:
sudo lvextend -L236G /dev/mapper/fedora-root --resizefs
If the file system is Btrfs, resize will be easier.
