Question : Increase Filesystem Size of RHEL 5

What is the best command to use to increase the size of my "/" filesystem?  I would like to increase this by at least 5gb.   I know I have at least 9gb of unused space on the disk.  Below is my lvm and df.

Answer : Increase Filesystem Size of RHEL 5

no reboot needed:
(resize to add additional 3GB)
- lvresize -L+3G /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
- resize2fs  /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 (for ext234-FS)
- xfs_growfs / (for xfs filesystem)
