Linux Partitions Resize
OK, I have a VPS server CentOS 6.5 , we have 100GB drive space available but when it was provisioned the partitions were setup as smaller partitions.
I'm not confident enough to resize these without some help.
So yeah, Help please!!!!
Preferably I would like to expand
/ -> 10GB
/usr -> 10GB
/var - > 10GB
/home -> 50GB
Below is some outputs that might be useful, I would like a guide of the commands, and maybe a link to some good reading material to let me figure out how this all works cause it seems pretty confusing to me.
Thanks in Advanced

Your second link EXACTLY SUGGESTS system-config-lvm as in http:#a40378319
You can also use Mondo Rescue to clone your partition before resizing http://comptia.idglabs.net/?p=4079
