I have an Ubuntu server that stopped working this morning. I logged in and found out that it was out of disk space.

Results of lsblk :

ubuntu partitions

Free space left:

free space left

I can see that the root partition is 100% full, and that's why the server stopped working, however I don't understand why my ex-sysadmin made a partition of 111GB when the drive had 223.6GB of total disk space.

What's the best thing I can do now? Is there any way to increase the space of the actual partition in a safe way without causing any damage to the files inside or the file-system?

Or is there any way that I can clone this SSD to a bigger SSD, however if I clone the SSD I think the problem will remain because the partition will have the same size, right?

Results of df -h :

Results of vgdisplay :

I can see that there is 111GB free space on the drive. How can I add it to the existing partition?
