[linux-lvm] How do I pvresize?

[Glen Harris]

I have already expanded the RAID slice by 250Gb, and now have a
/dev/sda which is 250Gb larger than it was before.

I now cannot remove that disk without either rebuilding the RAID
on the hot spare(back to square one) or destroying the RAID.

Please, can someone help me?
