Well that is easy then, if they free space is directly after your
current PV, you can just extend the partition in the partition table
then use PV resize to grow (cleaner but tricker),.
The Second thing "Easily" way you could do is create a new partition
using the free space, then create a PV on that, then extend the volume
group to also use that partition. Simplez
