what do you get from
# vgs
?
if there's VFree, you can lvextend the backing LV behind /home, then
grow the file system to use that additional space.
# lvextend -L +8G vg_ysg/lv_home
# resize2fs /home
if there's no VFree, and you want everything in / you could reboot to
single user mode, and do something like...
# cd /
# mkdir /home2
# mv /home/* /home2 # this will take awhile
# umount /home
# rmdir /home
# mv /home2 /home
and vi /etc/fstab and remove the mount for /home
now, you can lvremove vg_ysg/lv_home to free up the space it used
(will probably need a --force), then lvextend the vg_ysg/lv_root volume,
and grow /that/ file system to suit.
note. I typed all that off the top of my head. TRUST NOTHING, VERIFY
EVERYTHING, UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF EVERY COMMAND YOU ARE DOING!!!
Caveat Emptor.
