+lvextend extends the size of an LV. This requires allocating logical
+extents from the VG's free physical extents. If the extension adds a new
+LV segment, the new segment will use the existing segment type of the LV.
+.P
+Extending a copy-on-write snapshot LV adds space for COW blocks.
+.P
+Use \fBlvconvert\fP(8) to change the number of data images in a RAID or
+mirrored LV.
+.P
+In the usage section below, \fB--size\fP \fISize\fP can be replaced
+with \fB--extents\fP \fINumber\fP. See both descriptions
+the options section.
