okay, lvextend is what I need to run, right? I can't figure out the
syntax.
My logical volume is at:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
fdisk shows:

What would the correct syntax be for lvextend? Everything I have tried
based on the man page example and google examples has not worked.
To extend VolGroup00/LogVol00 by 10G, you would do:
# lvextend --size +10G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
You would also need to extend the filesystem on that volume once the
underlying volume is bigger. You may be able to do this using ext2online:
# ext2online /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
If ext2online tells you it can't do it, you'll need to use resize2fs
after booting from a rescue CD since you seem to have just one big
filesystem for the whole system and you can't unmount the root filesystem.
