Hi Kevin,

   I've been meaning to add this process to my wiki for a while now. 
This is as good a time as any, so take a gander here:

http://wiki.alteeve.com/index.php/Adding_Space_to_an_LVM

   Note that it's a copy-pasted from some of my other docs, so some of 
it will reference non-existing things, but the steps should all be there.
