Any alternate method to allocate free space without growpart?

Question

I am trying to allocate free space to root as my disk space is full (I am using this guide https://guideplanet.co.uk/index.php/2021/03/26/lvm-extention-for-centos/). I am doing it via KVM (ionos hosting). But i am not able to install growpart as it throws no disk space error.

Any alternate method to do?

Thanks

The best you can do is to clear the yum cache and try again:

yum clean all

Also you can check in /var/log about old log files and delete (eventually) some of them or truncate them.
