Is it possible to move an extent from one position to another on the same PV? It used to be possible under LVM1. The reason I ask is that a long time ago I wrote a sort of LVM defrag/repacker program. Basically it was a higher level interface to the pvmove program. I wrote it because when I would shrink a LV and enlarge another on a mostly utilized VG the logical extents would end up highly non-contiguous, especially after a few such re-organizations. In any case, I was updating it for LVM2 today and it seems that pvmove refuses to move an extent from one position on a PV to another position on the same PV. I guess I can work around this but it means lots of wasted moves. Also, I'd be happy to share this tool if anyone's remotely interested, once I've updated it for LVM2.
