Correct.

Its size needs to be changed in a seperate step.
With ext2 there's Ted Tso's offline resizer and for eg. Andreas Dilger's
online resizer.
With reiserfs there's an online extender and offline shrinker available.

Another LV exposing a "frozen" image of a preexisting LV.
IOW: you create another LV (the snapshot LV) which is "connected" to an
already exiting one (called original LV in this context).
The snapshot LV doesn't change its content while the original LV can
still be updated (changed).
