From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's fine. "Only 27GB" is hardly too small for the system, even a bloated system wouldn't take that much space.
But if you must have a larger partition I think a reinstall would be easier, resize the partition is possible but because of the encryption not a straight forward thing. I wouldn't bother really.
If LVM isn't somehow mitigating the issue I will do a reinstall.
I have run out of space on
/
before and it is a huge pain in the ass. I do not need much room for/home
on this system so I would prefer to be cautious and avoid problems down the road.Hopefully I will be able to figure out how to specify this.... maybe a different installer image.
It's two commands to grow the / fs on the fly:
So don't worry about it. LVM is great :).
The installer lets you do a custom partition layout.
That is my previous experience. I guess i missed it somehow.
