I've built the package with the patch provided in the bugreport, and it 
tries, but, it fails to be able to write to the partition table, I get 
the same results command line.  I've tried with and without SELinux.   I 
am looking for a automated way to do this, on first boot after a drive 
resize.  So far I haven't found a manual way to do it that works.  I 
know I could create a second PV, and add it to a VG, and then resize the 
LV, but, would prefer not to do it this way, seems messy.
