I did grow it - although it may not look like it.

The partition (LV) is curently about 200 GB.

(parted) p
Disk geometry for /dev/ftp1/cisco: 0.000-206440.000 megabytes
Disk label type: loop
Minor    Start       End     Filesystem  Flags
1          0.000 206440.000  ext2    

The filesystem is about 170 GB.

# df
<..>
/dev/ftp1/cisco      174009096 174005364      3732 100% /home/ftp/pub/cisco

I'm resizing like this:

(parted) resize 1 0 206432

Which should make a filesystem of about 200GB.

I'll try to grow it a few 100 megs.
