Doh, sorry Matt - you know I didn't even see anything down below where
you quoted, my bad. Yeah, I read that you can pvresize (what I'd meant
to say), but I was seeing some questionable result via some mail
threads. I haven't done it myself to experience success or failure, as

I don't think you want to resize your pv partition, I'm not sure you can
