lvextend only affects the partition. After extending a partition it is necessary to run fsck and resizefs. Assuming ext3 the flow looks something like this: unmount /dev/vg1/lv1 lvextend -L+1G /dev/vg1/lv1 e2fsck -f /dev/vg1/lv1 resize2fs /dev/vg1/lv1 mount /dev/vg1/lv1 The LVM HOWTOs explain these fairly well.
