Hi everyone,

If I understand correctly what you did, you will need to resize the vg back to (at least) the same size (Edit: - do it from a live/install CD that has LVM support).
Best would be to restore the filesystem after thaat, before attempting a resize, just to be sure the filesystem hasn't been damaged.

Then do the resizing in the correct order - tldp.org has a LVM how-to that describes this.
