.SH DESCRIPTION
lvextend allows you to extend the size of a logical volume.
Extension of snapshot logical volumes (see
"lvextend /dev/vg01/lvol01 /dev/sdk3" tries to extend the size of that
logical volume by the amount of free space on physical volume /dev/sdk3.
This is equivalent to specifying "-l +100%PVS" on the command line.

+"lvextend -L+16M vg01/lvol01 /dev/sda:8-9 /dev/sdb:8-9"
+.br
+tries to extend a logical volume "vg01/lvol01" by 16MB using physical extents
+/dev/sda:8-9 and /dev/sdb:8-9 for allocation of extents.

.SH DESCRIPTION
lvresize allows you to resize a logical volume.
Be careful when reducing a logical volume's size, because data in the reduced
must use a single value throughout.
.br
StripeSize must be 2^n (n = 2 to 9)
