raid 5 on the same disk (cool!)

seems you have some problem with the filesystem in /dev/raid-lvm/lv_raid
did you play at reducing it before?

it seems you lvreduced the logical volume without resizing the filesystem
before, or your fs is badly corrupt.
Try copying data somewhere else and mkfs the lv again.

ok

e2fsadm = lvextend then resize2fs if extending
resize2fs then lvreduce if shrinking
so you try to extend the lv by 1G and you succeed, then you try
to extend it by 1G again, but you don't have enugh free PE on the
volume group.
