oVirt – Can’t Expand VM Disk to New Size with LVM or resize2fs

I have a oVirt server with a VM, the VM was created with a 20GB disk but that quickly ran out of space so I added another 20GB to it and now I'm trying to expand the disk.

I have done this once before on an old VM and then I ran the following commands:

$ sudo lvm
lvm> lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
  Size of logical volume ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv changed from 4.00 GiB (1024 extents) to <49.00 GiB (12543 extents).
  Logical volume ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv successfully resized.
lvm> exit
  Exiting.



$ sudo lvm
lvm> lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
  Size of logical volume ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv changed from 4.00 GiB (1024 extents) to <49.00 GiB (12543 extents).
  Logical volume ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv successfully resized.
lvm> exit
  Exiting.
$ sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
resize2fs 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
Filesystem at /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv is mounted on /; on-line resizing required old_desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 7
The filesystem on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv is now 12844032 (4k) blocks long.
$ df -h

And that expanded the disk but now for some reason on my new VM these commands does not work and I get the following output:

$ sudo lvm
lvm> lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
  New size (4863 extents) matches existing size (4863 extents).

The filesystem is already 4979712 (4k) blocks long.  Nothing to do!
