I got vxresize from a post to this mail list last year.  It works very well
and corrected some mistakes I made.

Dennis-

Hi, Thankyou for the note. I did see one response, but it was basically
what I already knew; rebuild the volume. 

vxresize is an interesting option, especially if it fixes the volume and
the plex. I will look into it more closely. Your right, it is not very
well publicized. hmmm - I wonder why.

Thanks again.

-Marc
