Software :: LVM Resizing - Pvdisplay Showing Drive Smaller

I'm a bit new to LVM administration, and I have a question that the Clonezilla Live forum referred here. Below is the question.

So, I was moving from a 250G disk to a 320G disk because I was running out of space on my laptop. My problem is that my new drive seems convinced that it is only 250G in size, and I'm wondering how to persuade it otherwise. I'm not sure if it matters, but I did use the -k1 option when Clonezilla was restoring in order to resize the partitions proportionally. Here is the output of fdisk -l and pvdisplay:

root@nansen: [/]$ fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 17 133610 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 17 38911 312412851+ 8e Linux LVM

So fdisk knows that the drive is 320Gb, and the sda2 partition is about 319Gb in size. But LVM isn't buying it:

root@nansen: [/]$ pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sda2
VG Name VolGroup00
PV Size 232.78 GB / not usable 2.71 MB
Allocatable yes
PE Size (KByte) 32768
Total PE 7449
Free PE 1
Allocated PE 7448
PV UUID RKhtpa-J34H-GnvD-26v3-bAEI-wccm-f55hwS

Is there some sort of pvchange command that I need to run? Here is some more info in case you need it.

root@nansen: [/]$ pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 232.78G 32.00M
root@nansen: [/]$ df -h

Option "-k1" is only for partition size, it won't deal with LVM yet. I think you need other tool to resize the LVM.
