No, because using pvcreate on the wole disk doesn't leave free space on disk. The only way in which pvresize is usefull is when you do, for example, a dd of the entire disk to a bigger one. So after the copy, you can use the pvresize to obtain the remaining space available on the VG. The same about the partitions. If you create a PV on a partition and after that you extend the partition, so you can use pvresize. Bye Ambrogio
