It's very unusual to have two partitions on the same device provide Physical Volumes for a single Volume Group. It may be that none of the space on sda4 is in use, and it might be removed and the space used for something (like extending sda5).
Earlier you showed the output of `mount` and the output of `lvdisplay`. fedora_localhost-live/home does not appear to be in use, though swap and root are used. Whatever is asking for a password for home appears to be failing. Possibly any password would work as well. Mounting home might show that it is empty and simply a waste of 33 GB.
This all seems confused enough that starting over might be best.
Hi Tony,
Not unusual to me. I play a lot with VMs, containers, and data collections. I found the learning curve/overhead in time, etc with BTRFS and ZFS too demanding of my resources, whereas a basic understanding of LVM made my life soooo much easier. Drives are so large now that I often partition them into 50G chunks, tag them as PVs, and hand them out to my VGs as needed initially or to extend/expand. I don't know how scalable my approach is but it's worked well for me so far.
