so  /dev/gdata/priv is striped? you can check by running:

lvdisplay /dev/gdata/priv

and look for the value of Segments.

if its more than 1, it is sriped. and to resize it:

lvextend -L +100G -t -i1 /dev/gdata/priv   /dev/hdf1

which will only use the free PEs from /dev/hdf1. the -t will only test
the process. if says it is ok, re-run the command w/o the "-t".
