LVM Debian 8 How to move the user/home/ folder?
Haven't used linux for a long time, installed
uname -a
Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.43-2 (2017-04-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Installed on new ssd 120Gb, with LVM,

And everything was clear until the system said about a small place. I look and in truth the size is only 8GB

I not so advanced user. Tell me what to do? How can I use the entire volume and not the miserable 8GB?
Answer the question
In order to leave comments, you need to log in
you have 8GB allocated for the root partition "/". Since you are using lvm, it is quite easy to resize partitions - reduce one lv, increase the other due to the freed up space.
The order is:
0. Reduce the fs on the logical volume
1. Check the integrity of the fs
2. Reduce the logical volume
3. Expand the target logical volume
4. Expand the target fs
5. Check the integrity of the target fs
