Hei Mike,
Gparted supports the detection of LVM2 but not the resizing and copy .
So, yes, point taken. What we basically do is to dump the fs-es on disk
and then dd them from the sysrescue image. Previous versions of Gparted
created problem because they did not detect lvm2 pvs. Now it does detect
LVM partitions, we can do the jobs for some partitions with Gparted and
for LVMs with dd and other scripted commands (plenty of google examples)
Thanks for pointing this out.

If that's the case, then both the documentation as well as Knoppix may
need to be updated. Specific to the documentation, the manual, located
at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.pdf
Reads thusly on the 10th page:
2.4.7 mkpart
mkpart [part-type fs-type name] start end [Command]
Creates a new partition, without creating a new file system on that
partition. This is useful for creating partitions for file systems (or
LVM, etc.) that Parted doesn’t support.
So, either parted does not, yet, support LVM, or the documentation is in
error.
This is an exercise I'll leave to the reader.
