If you had created a partition that spanned all of the cylinders on the drive and then used /dev/hdd1 instead of /dev/hdd, sfdisk would show that partition.

What it does not show is where the physical volumes (PVs) underlying /dev/mapper/VolGroup0-LogVol00 are located -- use the 'pvs' command to see the PVs in the VG "VolGroup00". > Since I didn't see any extra space available I did a: > > /usr/sbin/lvextend -L -1G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 > > This apparently did nothing. Assuming that you used +1G instead of -1G (or used an absolute size), it would have extended the LV (container) but not the filesystem (inside the container). Do a 'resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00' to resize the filesystem to match the LV then the space will be usable. (If you're shrinking a filesystem, use resize2fs with a size parameter first, then reduce the LV size to match -- the rule is that the fs must always be equal to or smaller than the LV).
