 	I was still a bit nervous about this suggestion.  As it happens, 
the only LV that was using sda11 was 'gen-website', which (as the name 
suggests) can be regenerated from other data.  So instead, I just deleted 
the 'gen-website' LV.  That allowed me to delete and re-create both the 
sda11 and sda12 PVs.  This seems to have fixed everything.  I was able to 
recreate the 'gen-website' LV and create my long-awaited 'dvd' LV as well.

 	Thanks again to Alasdair and Jonathan for all the help and 
patience!
