I need to add space to /var (thank you, libreoffice), which is on lvm.
Since my one volume group vg is getting low, I thought this would be a
good time to extend it as well.
Alan (McKinnon) has posted very helpful lvm bits (reprinted below).
Following alan's bottom up creation mandate I believe the idea is

1. Thank you dale for "rc single". This looks like what I have wanted
for a while, namely a replacement for single-user mode.
2. Everyone seems to agree that you really can enlarge a mounted
ext3 file system. I was going to try it except ...
3. I decided to use another suggestion (from neil) to use
PORTAGE_TMPDIR, roeleveld's idea of just using temporary space, and
Webb suggested /z for extra space.
So I made a normal linux ext3 partition on sda8, created the mount point
/mnt/junk and when needed mount sda8 on /mnt/junk and set PORTAGE_TMPDIR
accordingly.
One more thing. Some readers were suggesting I need 8 or so GB for
libreoffice. The failures occurred with 13GB. Today's /mnt/junk
success required 16GB. Fortunately sda8 has 50GB.
Thanks to all.

Dang !!
pkg_pretend() {
if [[ ${MERGE_TYPE} != binary ]]; then
CHECKREQS_MEMORY="1G"
use debug && CHECKREQS_DISK_BUILD="15G" ||
CHECKREQS_DISK_BUILD="9G"
check-reqs_pkg_pretend
That's a LOT of space. 9gbs of free space should be enough tho. 15Gbs
if you use debug.
