PowerVault MD 1000 Raid -- Linux Partitioning Problems

[Cody_Sparks at Dell.com]

You can also use "lvextend -l" (lowercase -l instead of -L) which lets
you specify by number of extents.

lvextend with no options will give you a list of the options.  vgdisplay
shows how many extents are available.
