CX340 - Linux expansion

[Matthew Crocker]

You need to create a new LVS Physical Volume for the new space.  Is it  
a new LUN or did the storage admin increase the size of an existing  
LUN?  Then you need to add the new PV to the VolumeGroup.  Then you  
need to grow your LogicalVolume with new found VG space.   Then you  
need to grow your filesystem into the bigger LV.

Hopefully you have a filesystem you can grown on the fly.
