Re: not enough free/allocatable physical extents to extend logical vo lume

[AJ Lewis <lewis@sistina.com>]

I'm guessing you're trying to extend by too large a size.  Use 
pvdisplay on /dev/sde1 and note the number of physical extents free.  
Then try passing that to e2fsadm with the '-l' flag instead of passing 
33.91G with the '-L' flag.  This is just a guess though.  It's pretty 
hard to tell without all the commands you ran and the output they gave 
you.
