Just noticed that there is a '-r' option on the lvextend command:

        -r|--resizefs

Resize2fs seems to work just fine:

resize2fs /dev/mapper/clefos_mfclef00-home resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013) 
Filesystem at /dev/mapper/clefos_mfclef00-home is mounted on /home; on-line 
resizing required old_desc_blocks = 3, new_desc_blocks = 4 The filesystem on 
/dev/mapper/clefos_mfclef00-home is now 8076288 blocks long.

xfs is a filesystem.  So is ext4

see
        man mount

If you want to expand a mount, I would probably just set up a:

1. new xfs partition of the desired size, and mount it, at
say:
        /tmp/home

2. then rsync the content over:

        rsync -av /home/. /tmp/home/.

3. run the command twice, 'just in case'

4. umount /home, and /tmp/home

5. manually edit /etc/fstab to point to the new one

6. get SElinux properly set:
        a. # touch /.autorelabel
        b. # reboot

(the system will relabel)

The former [ext4 formated] /home/ partition may be scratched
