Hi,
I was afraid someone was going to say that but i was hoping for a more safer method. I think i will take another backup of all my data 1st then do the below suggestion of deleting the /dev/sda2.
Thanks

Hmmm, 275G filesystem inside a 250G lv??? You should have done the reverse...
Danger.
5) pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 300G /dev/sda2
That's ok.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 26 204800 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 26 60801 488179201 8e Linux LVM
Now you have to be brave.
You should remove sda2 and recreate it with a smaller size (for example 310G).
The content should not be lost, as the metadata is at the start of the partition.
(refer another mail of mine from 23/8/2008 "lvm resizing and shifting" on this issue)
If you are still alive, you then:
- enlarge the pv to 310 (try to avoid manual specification, always better autodetect).
- enlarge the lv if you want
- enlarge the filesystem if you want
