BTRFS extend LVM

I have a LVM volume that I formatted to BTRFS.

It gets full and I need to extend it.

Extending a LVM is usual, straight:

[mrakotomandimby@universe ~]$ sudo  lvextend /dev/volgroup/vmware -L+150G
  Using stripesize of last segment 64.00 KiB
  Size of logical volume volgroup/vmware changed from 506.00 GiB (129536 extents) to 656.00 GiB (167936 extents).
  Logical volume volgroup/vmware successfully resized.
[mrakotomandimby@universe ~]$

But we also need to resize the BTRFS living on it:

[mrakotomandimby@universe ~]$ sudo btrfs filesystem resize max /home/mrakotomandimby/vmware
Resize device id 1 (/dev/mapper/volgroup-vmware) from 506.00GiB to max
[mrakotomandimby@universe ~]$

That is all
