Hi.
I've seen a thread about the workaround for pvresize
(link<https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2005-February/msg00022.html>),
and managed to do it without problems. I reduced the PV and VG size from
18Gb to 11Gb, and everything works, but the "LVM partition" is still 18Gb
(when I see it with a partition manager it says it is a 18Gb 8e or unknown
partition).

and the new size is 384 sectors plus 224 extents of 65536 sectors each.


However, I can't resize it with parted, because it only supports resizing
partitions inside LV's.
