Investigating in the area of trouble with 2.3.99pr2 kio support...

Could you provide more configuration information by "vgdisplay -v" on the
involved VG, a "lvextend -d" stdout/stderr and an "strace ext2resize" of your

Do you get any segfaults when you just read/write to the extended part
of the Logical Volume with dd?
