You probably already know this, but expanding a LVM partition is just a
single step. You also must resize the underlying file system. I've had
to do this a few times in the past couple of months. Recently, Tim was
having trouble installing Oracle on  a testdrive system. I used the LVM
GUI and expanded the swap, ran mkswap and everything was ok. One of the
other systems I had to expand the entire volume. After that I ran
ext2resize to resize the file system itself.
