9) Add space to logical volume 10) resize filesystem on logical volume. 10) was a gotcha that I hadn't seen mentioned previously - I added a new hard drive, added it to the volume group, added the space to the logical volume, and didn't see any change to my free space. *Obviously* I had to resize the filesystem, but I didn't know that at the time :) It was pretty easy to add space though, and once I realized that I had to resize the filesystem, everything went smoothly.
