[linux-lvm] resizing logical volumes

OK, I asked a question here the other day that ended up being a
filesystems question, sorry, but thanks for removing my head from my
arse on that one (I knew that, really I did).
While I was asking that question, I also asked about adding existing
partitions on other devices to a logical volume/volume group.
The reply I got was this:
pvcreate /dev/device
vgextend VolGroupName /dev/device
lvextend --size +60G LogicalVolumePath
This all seemed to work just fine, in fact when I do a lvdisplay and
vgdisplay, it says 120G (which is what I expected it to be). However,
when I try to perform the e2fsadm, I get the following (and I'm not an
idiot, I'm using/seeing the actual paths here):
e2fsadm --size +20G LogicalVolumePath
e2fsadm -- new size too large for "LogicalVolumePath"
e2fsadm -- size of "LogicalVolumePath" would be invalid
I thought to myself, 'Maybe I did this already.' I was, afterall, just
starting me 1st cup of coffee. Whenever I mount the filesystem and do a
df -h, it still reports 59G, which is what I started at.
While this might still be a FS issue, I still can find nowhere else to
turn for assistance.
Thanks in advance...
