David, I forgot about the fact that you are using LVMs. I don't use LVMs
myself; so I only mentioned the system files that pertain to using native
partitions. If you are using LVMs, there are probably other files that
need to be edited too. I'm afraid I can't offer much help there, since
I have no experience with it. Someone with some knowledge of LVMs will
need to assist you with what to edit where.
