OK Bryn, I completly forgot to check for a pvextend/resize... my bad! I do have those tools. Thanks! Pierre On 11/24/06, Bryn M. Reeves <breeves@redhat.com> wrote:

It normally takes one argument - the physical volume path to resize: [root ~]# pvresize /dev/loop0 Physical volume "/dev/loop0" changed 1 physical volume(s) resized / 0 physical volume(s) not resized This was added in CVS around a year ago - I think it should have made it into releases from 2.02.00. Without pvresize support, the easiest way to use the extra space is, as you said, to partition it as an additional PV.
