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. -- .''`.
