You need to either grow the physical volume if possible, add extra
physical volumes to the volume group (and therefore grow the volume
group), or shrink the existing logical volume.

Yeah, but that's not the space that logical volumes use.

LVs are allocated from inside the group-of-physical-volumes in a VG.
Think of LVs like partitions: if you have tons of space available on the
FS that's inside a partition, that doesn't necessarily mean you can add
a new partition to the disk.  You'll have to either shrink the existing
LV, or add more physical volumes to the group.

I believe either can be done while the FS is mounted.
