Hi SilverTip nice answer and very helpful, I'll try to get some more help

It's telling you the truth.
Sounds like you want another Logical Volume (LV) not partition.
You're right, what I need is a new LV but how I do that?
Sounds like you destroyed one or more of your LVs through all this.
Probable and I'm pretty sure I do it :-(
Please read the following documentation before forging further ahead.
And you might spin up a VM or live CD to experiment with LVM operations
before going any further as well.
- speaks about extents [0]
- read the entire Chapter 2 on LVM [1] as it applies to your scenario (ex:
snapshots probably don't)
- dated/older, but it may prove helpful [2]

Fine, I read it but know doubts persist on my mind. First, I'm running OS
in a Vmware Workstation VM and I'll not like to loose every I have there
since then I'll need to reconfigure all from scratch but if there is not
another option to save my mess the we should go through it.
If I were in your position, I think I would:
* Create a new, 80GB disk using VMWare
* Partition that disk into your /boot and LVM partitions
* pvcreate
* vgcreate
* lvcreate the disk structure you want in your new disk, making sure all
LVs are at least a little bigger than the old ones.
* use dd to copy disks from old drives to corresponding old drives
* use resize2fs to expand your file system to the full size of each of the
LVs you created.
* detach old virtual disk from your VM
* reboot, and see if you succeeded
If I forgot something here, hopefully someone else will chime in. The idea
is to dump your corrupted LVM structure without loosing its content.
