LVM Partitioning Problem

Since I couldn't find a Fedora section, I post my thread here...

Hi all,

I installed Fedora 17 with Windows 7. For some reason I had to use LVM, since every time when I want to add more than one partition i.e. swap and /root it told me that the space was not sufficient, but still I had 300GB to utilize. I went with LVM and created a scheme that was similar to the Fedora Documentation, so I have 5GB for /root; 512MB for /boot; 230GB for /home; and 20GB for /var.

Two issues occurred from that:
1. Windows crashes now with a blue screen (Don't really care but in case somebody knows a solution)

2. More important, my root partition is almost full and now I am unable to install updates. I still have over 10GB free in the LVM, but I don't really know how to extend the partition. On the other hand, I don't understand why the Fedora Documentation recommends 5GB for the /root partition, since now I end up with unsufficient space for updates and so forth.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you for your time and effort.

-Daniel
