Repling to my own mail here but its on subject. Just added a new drive to the machine, added it to the volume group, moved everything from /dev/hde1 to /dev/hda, removed hde1 from the VG and removed in physicaly from the machine. Great everything went fine, only the new drive is 60gigs so in moving its only used 40gigs. Not a problem I thought, I'll just extend the logical volume, so I did lvextend and extended it by 20gigs. This seemed to work as well..

I'm plain out.
