[linux-lvm] Help: Mount point does not report full size of LV.

[Matt P]

To be safe unmount the filesystem you want to grow. Then you'll use
the resize2fs command. From what you've provided so far, and assuming
you want to use all the available space on the LV, the command line
will probably look something like:

resize2fs -p /dev/VGforMyth/video

I'd recommending reading the man page for resize2fs before proceeding.
