I have a laptop that I put centos 7 on and I started out with a 30gig

pvcreate /dev/sda4
vgextend lvname /dev/sda4
lvextend -L 184.46G /dev/lvname/root
I find it easiest to do lvextend -l 100%VG /dev/lvname/rootI find it easiest to do lvextend -l 100%VG /dev/lvname/root. (Then, if practical, and since it's a laptop, I'm guessing it's not a production machine), reboot from a livecd or whatever and doing e2fsk -f /dev/lvmname/root
I don't know if it will solve your issue, but may be worth trying.
I found this:
# lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/myvg/testlv
doing a search. What's the difference between 100%VG and 100%FREE?
Thanks,
