This seems to be a bug with lvm. Unable to grow the logical volume.
I have the space. pvextend succeeded, vgextend succeeded but lvextend,
lvresize fail.
Where can I report this and get some support?
Following is a transcript of my attempt to solve this problem. I've remove the
sda stuff as it has no problems.

All I can see is the log message, but it doesn't help me to solve the problem
and the error message seems to be wrong. Where can I report this bug?
Thanks Hugh.
