[linux-lvm] df reporting incorrect size?

I'm a linux-lvm newbie (some limited use of IBM's LVM in AIX), and some
use of Veritas in Solaris. So I'm doing some testing, hoping to find
out that lvm will serve my needs and that of my employer.
I've done all of my fdisks to change partition type (0x8e), vgscans,
pvcreates, vgcreates, lvcreates, mke2fs on the lv etc, (used nice
generic names for my testing, like vg and lv), mounted it up and get the
following:
mount /dev/vg/lv /test
df -h /test
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/spheravg/spheralv
59G 20k 56G 0% /test
WTF?!?! Where'd that 3G go? Does LVM mess with things so that the OS
cant read volumes correctly? Or is there another issue that I might be
running into?
Thanks in advance for feedback/assistance/HELP.
Also, on another note, how difficult is it going to be for me to add
another ~63G to this LV from another physical device? The whole reason
we're looking at LVM is mainly to perform this function (one HYUGE
filesystem over multiple devices).
