The first pvmove I did, no they weren't. I figured the lvm tools are smart enough to tell me if it was the wrong thing to do. And it ended up crashing and burning. So the next time around, I did it with the LV activated. It happened again. So I don't think that's it. I suspected it might have been the fact I used --metadatacopies 2 with pvcreate, because when I rewrote the PVs with the default it worked. But on a second pvmove it crashed and burned again. So I don't think its that either. I tried it with both an i386 and an x86_64 rescue disk. Didn't make a difference. It honestly seems to be completely random.
