You need to provide more info...
You want to resize a logical volume? Growing or shrinking? Is it lvm on luks or luks on lvm?

@atzanteol LVM is inside LUKS. For some reason, resizing stops even though I unmounted the partition it is still being marked as "active". I disabled my SDDM and everything, rebooted, and still couldn't do it.
my reaction was "well... maybe there's something else holding this, LUKS maybe?"

Haven't used LVM in a while, so I can't offer much insight there other than consider taking a backup of anything important.

It never occurred to me to attempt such a thing. I'd first try on a throwaway VM and virtual disk I guess. But resizing is already sort of a bad vibe. I'm trying to move towards being able to do full reinstalls more smoothly. That's still a work in progress though.
