120GB Seagate
-120GB lvmhome xfs
The 2 lvm partitions were used together as a ~220GB /home partition, and everything worked well. Then I decided to add the 2 new drives. The geometry now looks like this
120GB Seagate
-9GB / ext3
-1GB Swap
-110GB lvmhome xfs
120GB Seagate
-120GB lvmhome xfs
120GB Seagate
-80GB lvmhome xfs
-40GB /home/me linuxraid
80GB Seagate
-40GB lvmhome xfs
-40GB /home/me linuxraid
I setup 40GB on each new drive apart in a raid1 mirror using mdadm. Then with the 120GB of new LVM space due to me, I tried to add it to my LVM home. I am unable to get the space. Here are the outputs of a few commands for some help.

Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "lvmhome" using metadata type lvm2
tufkal@tux:/home$
According to those, everything looks great! I should have 325GB of space!
tufkal@tux:/home$ cat /etc/fstab | grep lvm
/dev/mapper/lvmhome-home /home xfs defaults 0 2
And my /home is mounted on my lvm.....
tufkal@tux:~$ df -h

BWAH? Why do I only have 220GB of space? I run out of space almost nightly when MythTV starts transcoding the day's recordings. I gave up trying to figure out what I did wrong and I ask of you.
More random command line pastes in case they help.

AND WHILE IM AT IT, FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
What is the correct way to add a partition to a LVM (like if I slap another drive in there).
Thanks in advance.
