Let's try once again: I have not allocated anything at the time of 
installation. The only thing I've done was to accept Debian installer's 
suggestion to make the OS installation by using the whole hard disk and 
make the LVM. (In the other words, I let the installer to calculate 
particular partitions.) I see now some of you telling it should not be 
done that way, but would not be better to blame the programmers who had 
made such a 'bad option' within the installer?

Secondly, either the installer and/or some online manuals had suggested 
that the main purpose of LVM was to allow additional reallocating space 
within the OS's partitions, later if and when needed, from within an 
already working system. If that's not the case, I'd suggest the 
programmer community to invent a better solution.

Anyway, as I said earlier, I managed to restore the space to the 
original status, then I reallocated things in the proper order. So, in a 
couple of days it will be a month since I fixed my wrong attempt to 
reallocate the space, and the machine is not complaining ever since :0
