Typically you have to go full custom and assuming home is on a VG with
free space you would then have to create a LV and define a fs on it,
and assigned it as root (/).
Similar would have to be done with /boot outside of LVM and if efi
would you also need a /boot/efi again outside of LVM.
No harddisk means no harddisk with free space(unpartitioned). If
partitions are unused then you would have to assign them and/or rework
them.
What does the /home directory/disk look like? (partition table, lvm
setup (if lvm)?)
