I would just create an additional partition /dev/sda3 with the free space. This partition can be added to the PVS:
Of course, why didn't I think of that.
pvcreate /dev/sda3 vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sda3 lvextend -L20G /dev/VolGroup00/diskname resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/diskname 20G
Thanks for the recipe; this worked perfectly.
If booted from a rescue disk, use lvscan to find the LVM group.
Since the VG contained the root file system, I had to boot from a rescue disk (the CentOS 4.4 LiveCD ISO in my case) in order to do the resize2fs. But everything worked flawlessly.
Thanks again, I am up and running with the new, bigger filesystem. Now all I have left to fix is the annoying slow clock issue with running a Linux VM on a Windows host. All the documented workaround for this issue have not helped so far...
