probably you've partitioned the disk incorrectly. The hard disk size is 59.7GB but the root partition is only 6.7GB, the remaining is just blank space. Runfdisk -l

From your comment /dev/sda2 is around ~8GB (since it looks like fdisk uses 1KiB sector, but I'm not sure about that)

/dev/sda2 1026048 16777215 7875584 8e Linux LVM
Just run gparted to resize /dev/sda2 to the end of the hard drive, and then resize your LVM partition. For more information about resize LVM partition read How can I resize an LVM partition? (i.e: physical volume)
thanks for the comment. I need to expand it 60 GB, the article that you linked shows "How to shrink" Is there a way to expand?

Hi @phuclv, I did run the following, it does seem to have given another 8% free. Here is what I did[root@localhost ~]# lvextend -l 100%VG /dev/mapper/centos-root Size of logical volume centos/root changed from 6.67 GiB (1707 extents) to 6.71 GiB (1717 extents). Logical volume root successfully resized.
Here is the result[root@localhost ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/centos-root 6.7G 5.5G 1.3G 82% /
Still wondering how do get to use the 60 GB, which is not showing in any of the disk usage?

@truthtriumphs did you resize /dev/sda2 as I said? Because6.67 GiB (1707 extents) to 6.71 GiB (1717 extents)
looks like the partition is still the same size, so LVM can't resize it any bigger than that

Hi @phuclv, I did run the following, it does seem to have given another 8% free. Here is what I did
[root@localhost ~]# lvextend -l 100%VG /dev/mapper/centos-root Size of logical volume centos/root changed from 6.67 GiB (1707 extents) to 6.71 GiB (1717 extents). Logical volume root successfully resized.
Here is the result [root@localhost ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/centos-root 6.7G 5.5G 1.3G 82% /
Still wondering how do get to use the 60 GB, which is not showing in any of the disk usage?– truthtriumphs

@truthtriumphs did you resize /dev/sda2 as I said? Because
6.67 GiB (1707 extents) to 6.71 GiB (1717 extents)
looks like the partition is still the same size, so LVM can't resize it any bigger than that– phuclv

@phclv I don't see a /dev/sda2 patition. Here is the result of
df -h
command /dev/mapper/centos-root 6.7G 5.6G 1.2G 83% / devtmpfs 1.4G 0 1.4G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.4G 0 1.4G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.4G 8.7M 1.4G 1% /run tmpfs 1.4G 0 1.4G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda1 497M 157M 341M 32% /boot tmpfs 282M 0 282M 0% /run/user/0
Kindly forgive me I am just learning how Linux does partitions– truthtriumphs

probably you've partitioned the disk incorrectly. The hard disk size is 59.7GB but the root partition is only 6.7GB, the remaining is just blank space. Run
fdisk -l

Yes, you are right. How do I increase the root partition to 59.7GB? when I run
fdisk -l
I get this @phuclvDisk /dev/sda: 64.0 GB, 63962087424 bytes, 124925952 sectors /dev/sda1 * 2048 1026047 512000 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1026048 16777215 7875584 8e Linux LVM
