Used fsadm command before vgmerge, worked great. Succeeded at creating new pv on my ssd to merge it with the root vg thus allowing me to use the full size of the ssd. The problem i got is when trying to merge root with Home, i have to make lv inactive, working on /dev/Home/home with lvchange -an but not working on /dev/Home/swap. Tells me the logical volume is in use. How can the logical volume be in use when i booted on a live usb key? Is it possible to force it or find another way?
