That won't achieve anything useful because I'm not running with LVM.  My system 
is using partitions from sda.  Cannot see an LVM installation. 

df -h -t ext4

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3        23G   22G     0 100% /
/dev/sda5       890G  468G  378G  56% /home

lsblk -o size,fstype,model,name

  SIZE FSTYPE MODEL                  NAME
931,5G        WDC WD10JPVX-22JC3T0   sda
    1M                               ├─sda1
  513M vfat                          ├─sda2
 23,3G ext4                          ├─sda3
  2,9G swap                          ├─sda4
904,9G ext4                          └─sda5
 1024M        MATSHITABD-CMB UJ141EF sr0
 1024M        BD-RW BDR-XS07         sr1


I want to increase the size of /dev/sda3 by using /dev/sda5 perhaps

df -h

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           785M  1,8M  783M   1% /run
/dev/sda3        23G   22G     0 100% /
tmpfs           3,9G     0  3,9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5,0M  4,0K  5,0M   1% /run/lock
/dev/sda2       512M  296K  512M   1% /boot/efi
/dev/sda5       890G  468G  378G  56% /home
tmpfs           785M  140K  785M   1% /run/user/1000
