I'll look into it...

Oh, I believe I've mixed too many things in there. No, for LVM all this
partition stuff doesn't matter and using resize2fs is just fine.

It's just that I thought it would also be useful to use resize2fs for partitions
with ext2/ext3, and not only for LVM. But that doesn't quite work (yet). And
not just because of setup-storage being buggy...

Best,
