indeed, i had something like this in mind... ;)

agreed, the quality of man pages is not, what it used to be back in the 
day, when i was young, but lvm is old, and hence the man pages provide more 
useful information than some new wannabe fancy software.

just take some time to read all relevant man pages, and even if they turn 
out not to be relevant: you might learn a thing or two.

learn! that's my advice to everyone, not just you. copy and paste is NOT 
the answer! at least not, if you want to understand what you're doing.

a quick look at the man pages got me this:
- pvcreate <partition> to add a partition to a pool of physical volumes
- vgextend <volume group> <physical device> to add a physical device to a 
volume group
- lvextend [options] <volume group> [<partition(s)>] to extend the size of 
a logical volume

that was not so hard.

greetings...
