Fedora 25
Hey guys,
I've just cloned my 120gb SSD to a 240gb SSD, and would like to extend my root partition.
It seems this isn't as easy as I was hoping and could use some assistance!
fdisk -l

I've tried xfs_growfs but nothing changes, gparted (live usb boot) doesn't allow me to change the size. I know I have 4 active partitions, but unsure how to get past this limitation (is it a limitation?)
I tried following https://askubuntu.com/questions/492054/how-to-extend-my-root-partition with no success as well.
I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I can't see it.
Any help would be much appreciated!
