lvextend extends the size of an LV. This requires allocating logical
-extents from the VG's free physical extents. A copy\-on\-write snapshot LV
-can also be extended to provide more space to hold COW blocks. Use
-\fBlvconvert\fP(8) to change the number of data images in a RAID or
+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.
