I don't think you want to resize your pv partition, I'm not sure you can resize it logically. I have never had to try at least. I'd recommend making another partition slice, marking at 8e LVM type, add as a new pv with pvcreate, add new pv to your existing vg with vgextend, do lvextend to grow in

correct way to set timezone & clock/date?

I have a few systems here in my home that are either fedora or opensuse installs. I was setting up ganglia last night to add some monitoring to my home setup and discovered I had some issues with clock skew. When I got to looking I noticed that the timezones were set to MST and most of the system
