The LVM volume could be resized, but for resizing the partition you may
need to use a live CD, since IIRC you cannot resize a mounted
filesystem.

Many filesystems actually do support online resize - ext3, reiserfs,
and xfs I know support it, as well as others, probably. Of course,
running fsck -> resize -> fsck from a livecd is probably the /safest/
route...
