Hi,

from my understanding resizing the partition itself (FS Type: Linux LVM
as fdisk tells me) should be the last step.

The LV's are all small enough, they barely take 10% of the VG's/PV's
space. In my setup the VG consists of only one PV, so they have the same
size.

I've tried to shrink the PV with pvresize which didn't throw errors -
but fdisk still shows me the same LVM partition size as before.
So I guess the partition table has to be modified somehow?
