The one and only partition on your device (sdb1) has the old size. That is, there's free space on sdb. You have to either 1) create a partition sdb2 (and then a pv on it etc.) or 2) resize the partition sdb1 (then resize the pv etc.). I'd pick #1. remember to reread the partition table aft

Is it possible that i log into the server with ssh and umount only /var and then resize the logical volume? Yes, but you'll have to stop a lot of daemons and other processes that run with files opened in /var. You can find the processes accessing /var with lsof or fuser: # fuser -mv /var #
