Okay..  My physical disk just changed from 40GB to 80GB.  What simple tools
can I use to tell LVM to increase my root partition size to use the new
space available?  When /I/ tried it, it was a royal pain is the tuchus
to do this.  It took me an hour, whereas doing this with a raw partitions
and qt_parted took minutes.
