Re: /root resizing
Since /root is found on the / file system i.e. root file system, you should resize the root file system itself...
but you can also bypass this by creating a new file system and mount it as /root thereby transfering all the files from old "/root" to the new "/root"
this would be much easier and would least affect your system.
hope this helps!
kind regards

Re: /root resizing
If it is, then using 'lvextend' followed by a 'resize2fs'.
If you aren't currently using LVM, then as the previous person stated, you need resize the partition first. Using a tool like 'gparted' (their live cd, or a sys-rescue live cd) is a nice easy way to do it.

If you are using LVM, this could be done via Linux Rescue Mode.
You need be familar with following LVM Commands, refer to Man Page:
# man lvextend
# man resize2fs
# man pvcreate
# man vgextend
Scenarios 1: There are existing Disk Spaces in Current Volume Group
--> Use lvextend, resize2fs
Scenarios 2: There are No More Disk Spaces in Current Volume Group
--> Create a New LVM Partition via fdisk
--> Use pvcreate, vgextend, lvextend, resize2fs
Try above in a Development Box first :)
Thanks
