is there a way to resize a volume group?
i've seen that is possible to make lots of things with logical volumes inside volume groups, but is there a way to resize the volume group it self in the case there free space in it so i can create afterwards physical volume?
thanks.

Why do you want to resize a volume group? Just add another Physical Volume (pvcreate)
and then attach this PV to the Volume Group.
Then you will be able to create Logical Volumes which span over several Physical Volumes.
So there is really no need to resize the VG.
HTH,

None of tools will actually work. If you read part of this thread will see a how-to from voidman that teaches how to resize such LVM volumes.

Reason I provided link is because the other links provided about how-to's for LVM...that's all.
