PV Size               11.24 GB / NOT usable 51.50 MB [LVM: 125.00 KB]
PV#                   2
PV Status             available
Allocatable           yes (but full)
Cur LV                4
PE Size (KByte)       32768
Total PE              358

Allocated PE          358
PV UUID               0jqg8y-LkA2-vZ1w-jHpv-cSY6-t7sh-BcmDS6

My PE size 32M yet my unusable space is > 32M 

I tested this with different PE sizes and found that the unusable space
reported is aways in the range >= 1PE and < 2PE

I would have expected it in the range >=0PE and <1PE

Why is this not so?
