I thought it would be as easy as it is with AIXs LVM. :) (just grow if your vg has free space, and by having it still mounted, and don't care about "where" the free space is) Because I liked the idea having free diskspace up one's sleeve which you can assign later, or for a new partition or sth. like that.
