Yes, this is possible. The steps are: 1. backup files from volume `/dev/vgmint/volume` 2. unmount it `umount /dev/vgmint/volume` 3. remove logical volume `lvremove /dev/vgmint/volume` 4. extend the volume and filesystem `lvextend --resizefs -L+100%FREE /dev/vgmint/root` 5. restore backuped files (if any) P.S. I am not sure if the last command will work with `xfs`. If not you should (for point 4) first execute `lvextend -L+100%FREE /dev/vgmint/root` and then `xfs_grow /dev/vgmint/root`
