It depends mainly on the filesystem you are using. The ext[3|4]
filesystems are fine. You'll have to extend the LV, and then separately
extend the filesystem itself.
Please test this on a non-production server before trying it on your
live server, just to be safe and to be sure that you've got your syntax
right.
