The reason that I'm asking these questions is that LVM does not seem to
work well with resizing of the physical disks -- you need to create a
new physical volume and then add that in.

to be fair it's not LVM that's the problem, it's other kernel layers that are. Specifically the bits that deal with artitions and the in-kernel memory of partitions. they're not built for dynamic.


Thanks,
