resize

Hi,

I am running FC9 under VMware Fusion 3.0
I wanted to resize my /dev/sda2 partition.

In order to do that I did the following:
0. changed the size of the vmware file (under VMware settings).
1. rebooted the host to rescue mode without mounted disks
2. fdisk - removed & added /dev/sda2
- i had bigger /dev/sda2
3. lvm pvresize /dev/sda2
4. lvm pvdisplay
- it showed me bigger size on /dev/VolGroup00 for /dev/sda2
5. lvm vgchange -a y
- device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
- 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active

This is not true because there is no /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
My whole "/" disappeared.

dmsetup table, shows:
VolGroup00-LogVol01: 0 2097152 linear 8:2 38338944
VolGroup00-LogVol00:

Can some one help me to solve this? Thank You.
