I found http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/recipesplitvg.html
Reading it through I found the chapter "13.7. Splitting a volume group"Before I start reading and applying the advice there, I kindly ask: Is it the right place for me?
No, you can't split a VG that contains only a single physical volume.
About the data in hdb: that volume is sacrifyed for my Linux experiments. I could well to reinstall Fedora 5 hoping that in that 3. attempt everything will work and the result will be let's say 40 GB for Fedora and the rest of hdb free to be used later.
I set up my 160GB disk with 4 physical volumes so that I could shrink the VG size to create non-partitioned space if necessary.
