It sounds like you need to use growfs(1M) to expand the file system.

After you made the logical volume did you create a new file system or
grow the old file system that used to live on /dev/dsk/dks0d1s6?  If
you _had_ a previous file system in dks0d1s6 and then created a file
system around it and dks0d5s7, you would only see the file system that
was already there, and you would have to do a 'growfs /dev/dsk/lv0'
(with the _file system_ unmounted!) or a 'mkfs /dev/dsk/lv0' (also with
dks0d1s6 unmounted).  Make sure to also make a new /dev/usr and
/dev/rusr to match /dev/dsk/lv0 and /dev/rdsk/lv0.  --

 Logical volumes work fine on the Indigo, if lvck lv0 reports
no problems then umount /dev/dsk/dks0d1s6 (/usr?), run mklv to
create the lv device and have the disk labels updated then run
growfs on /dev/rdsk/lv0 and remount. Piece of cake.
