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!
