I do this often enough, so I might as well make my life easier and document it!

To grow/extend a partition:

                      lvextend --size [size] [device]
                      resize2fs [device] [size]

To shrink/reduce a partition:

                      resize2fs [device] [size]
                      lvreduce --size [size] [device]
