That depends on a lot of factors.

Assuming it’s a logical volume and that is what’s been expanded, you just need to expand the filesystem. That also has some factors to consider.

Assuming it’s an ext4 file system, you can use the resize2fs tool. How to Grow an ext2/3/4 File System with resize2fs - Red Hat Customer Portal

If it is not a logical volume, and looks like a hardware partition, there may be something else you have to do (you may have to expand it in parted or fdisk) even though the underlying “disk” is bigger.

If it is not an ext4 filesystem, you’ll need to use some other tool to resize it. What tool to use depends on what filesystem it is.
