What I found out testing with a few FS available for Linux is that only the

Snapshots for LV on Reiserfs, XFS and even ext3 are not
extendable(mountable).

Very strange, since LVM snapshot does not hold FS. Am I right?

At the FS layer, it should appear to be the same size as before (the size of the original). I've had no trouble at all reducing or extending XFS snapshot volumes while they were mounted, but I don't think I've tried it unmounted.
