I added a 4TB disk formatted EXT4 (/dev/sdk1) to my lvm2 array using webmin. I then asked webmin to extend the filesystem to include that disk. It reported an error, which i didnt take a snapshot of. However it has added the disk to the logical volume, and the volume reports the new total size, however still has the old amount of free space. When i look at the pvdisplay, it shows the new disk as full! How can i correct this error. I've tried e2fsck, which reports the lv as clean. Below are my vgdisplay, pvdisplay and lvdisplay results:

Any and all help appreciated. I wondered if i could just remove the new disk - as it should have no data on it - and then use the force remove option and see if i get the old array back, but as it has already allocated the new pv to the lv, will i lose the lv?
