So there's an LVM volume consisting of 3 disks that was created
by the Debian Installer. One of the disks develops problems
(offline uncorrectable sectors) so I buy a fourth, the same size
exactly. Now, I pvcreate /dev/sde, and I vgextend bigstore /dev/sde,
and I try to pvmove /dev/sdb1. Doesn't work.

Somehow, creating and adding a disk manually gives 1 PE less:

  PV Name               /dev/sdb1
  VG Name               bigstore
  PV Size               3000592939.52 kB / not usable 440.83 kB
  Allocatable           yes (but full)
  PE Size               4194.30 kB
  Total PE              715397
....
  PV Name               /dev/sde
  VG Name               bigstore
  PV Size               3000590369.28 kB / not usable 2064.90 kB
  Allocatable           yes
  PE Size               4194.30 kB
  Total PE              715396

Once again, the disks are as similar as can be. Here's the relevant
part of /proc/partitions:

   8       16 2930266584 sdb
   8       17 2930266542 sdb1
   8       64 2930266584 sde

Is there a way to safely reclaim my lost PE?
