there you add the partition, then go t Volume manger and add it to the volume. Now you can resize any of the logical volumes.
The LVM is great. Of course if you want to redo your whole physical partition setup you have to back up the partitions, reformat the disk and reinstall (tar or cpio are good tools for backup) but using the LVM there is no purpose in doing it.
Thanks. It hadn't dawned on me to ADD a new partition -- I kept trying to grow the existing one :-/ Re: "no purpose in doing it" ... I understand your suggestion works. Is the multipartition VolumeGroup in any way less stable/ideal/etc? Also, once that partition is added to the VG, can LVs, new or existing, bridge across its boundaries, or must an LV be limited in size to within the contiguous boundary, i.e. <= 100 GB?
