system with the following caveats:
1) You'll need some free space on /var. I.e., not extra space in the
volume group, but a little extra space in the /var partition itself.
In other words, don't try to resize a completely full /var partition.
2) There is a possibility that you'll need to resize some metadata. If
so, this has to be done offline via a boot disk for /var.

That's exactly as I thought :)
For now, a safer way around this, I moved the /var/lib/xend/saved folder to it's own LVM volume, and re-mounted it on /var/lib/xend.
So now /var has 1.4GB free space from 2GB
