Definitely. Df shows the filesystem size, not the LV size. You probably
want to extend the filesystem to match the LV. In EL5, 'resize2fs' will
resize a filesystem while it is mounted (Leave out the size, and it will resize
to match the LV). If the version on your Ubuntu doesn't know how to
resize online, then you'll have to boot from CD or USB and run resize2fs.
