When installed debian with LVM, using whole disk (default option), the LVM
was created on /dev/vda5, which was on vda2 extended partition:

    Device Boot    Start       End   #sectors  Id  System
/dev/vda1   *      2048    499711     497664  83  Linux
/dev/vda2        501758  41943039   41441282   5  Extended
/dev/vda3             0         -          0   0  Empty
/dev/vda4             0         -          0   0  Empty
/dev/vda5        501760  41943039   41441280  8e  Linux LVM

when booted on bigger virtual disk, the primary partition 2 was changed to
type linux, containing the rest of the disk, which unfortunately made the
LVM unreadable.

the growpart should aparently support extended partitions...
