There's your answer: You're trying to make it bigger than the underlying
device.
Use pvs -v to check device sizes for discrepancies.
(--units s if necessary).

Thanks, now I can see what the problem is:
[root@fc11-64 ~]# pvs -v
Scanning for physical volume names
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree DevSize PV UUID
/dev/sda2 vg_fc1164 lvm2 a- 99.80G 0 99.80G
qunnek-OG2y-hp2j-31J8- J3HT-0Aye-3w2rMN
/dev/sdb2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 67.91G 20.00G 47.93G
eCuGyH-jV7L-Tgdg-JyYW- sWK1-ehZY-OLw0WS
How is this possible?
What's the solution?
How can I grow the DevSize?
Probably a better question to ask is, how can I add the unused space into
the device and then the volume?
Hi Hugh,
taking into account this:
Maybe I should provide some more background.
I have a vmware virtual disk and I have grown the disk size by 20G.
and...
[root@fc11-64 ~]# parted -l

you have to resize sdb2 partition first.
Though I do not understand why it is possible to resize PV beyond end of
device (doing that should display a warning message, but command will
pass), this is definitely not a LVM bug.

Thank Marian,
Any idea how to resize sdb2?
Easy. Just search web for:
linux resize partition
Or check these direct links:
command line GNU parted: http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/index.shtml
GNOME gparted: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
KDE qtparted: ...
It's lvm and maybe I could delete it and recreate
it with fdisk but maybe it will break and everything will be lost.
Marian
