I'd like to see the debug log file/strace for that pvmove --abort and the full ps output for the process (incl decoded wchan and process state, nice value, resident memory size & whether its CPU time is static or increasing) - before and after issuing the 'kill -9' that doesn't work. We're probably going to need to start sending you patches to instrument the kernel if we are to work out what's going on here [unless you happen to have the machine set up for kgdb]. Also, careful use of 'dmsetup' should let us deduce some internal state. Do you use irc or IM - might speed things up if so?
