What I recall...
I seem to recall, when faced with a similar situation, that I had to start fresh.
backup the data
remove logical volume (which removes the data)
rebuild (to new size) the logical volume
restore the data

Hiya,
Is there a known method from converting LVM data to VxVM data..
ie we have a load of local and SAN (HPDM) mounts on RHEL 4u5/5u1 servers which are now required to be clustered with SFS (VxFS,VxVM,CFS,VCS etc)
I've come across the vxvmconvert, but thought that was HP-UX only?

lvremove
LVREMOVE(8) System Manager's Manual LVREMOVE(8)
NAME
lvremove - remove a logical volume
SYNOPSIS
lvremove [-A|--autobackup {y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [-f|--force] [--noudevsync] LogicalVol-
ume{Name|Path} [LogicalVolume{Name|Path}...]
DESCRIPTION
lvremove removes one or more logical volumes. Confirmation will be requested before deactivating any active logical volume prior to
removal. Logical volumes cannot be deactivated or removed while they are open (e.g. if they contain a mounted filesystem). Removing an
origin logical volume will also remove all dependent snapshots.
If the logical volume is clustered then it must be deactivated on all nodes in the cluster before it can be removed. A single lvchange com-
mand issued from one node can do this.
OPTIONS
See lvm(8) for common options.
-f, --force
Remove active logical volumes without confirmation.
--noudevsync
Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev. It will continue irrespective of any possible
udev processing in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 cre-
ates.
EXAMPLES
Remove the active logical volume lvol1 in volume group vg00 without asking for confirmation:
lvremove -f vg00/lvol1
Remove all logical volumes in volume group vg00:
lvremove vg00
