Thats ok I guess, I kind of agree with you, They should have reserved a
finite amount of space. After all someone might have a pe of 512k which
could prove to be not enough and land them in trouble. If they have
reserved one PE the output of pvdisplay should say (1 PE reserved) cos its
not unusable, they have reserved it!
