[linux-lvm] half my space lost

[Ronan-Yann Lorin]

I tried to extend my 96Mb VG "secured" with (default) extend size of 32M
with 1*128Mb /dev/md/8.

I recreated it with an extend size of 1Mb and with /dev/md/7 + /dev/md/8 PV.
It worked. Since then I added some more PV to it without problem. I now
trying to move my root partition on it.
