			<description><![CDATA[Thanks.
I performed the same and had the freed up space added the root volume. Had to do a bit of calculations though to get the size right. The messages from extend2fs gives the available blocks, and calculated the new size from there.

			<title>You didn\'t resize the filesystem.</title>

			<description><![CDATA[You extended the root logical volume, but the filesystem is still the same size as before.
If you had checked df before and after you did this, it\'d be the same - albeit with a smaller storage partition.
You should also run extend2fs again for storage to make it take any unused space after rounding.]]></description>
