What do you mean an easier way?

You create a snapshot of your current volume. Then use that snapshot as the basis for a new volume with increased size.

That's what I do .. usually with some tar magic. – drxzcl Oct 08 '10 at 11:59
Don't forget to resize the filesystem to the new volume size. – Martijn Heemels Jun 22 '12 at 08:39
