Hello, I have a VG for /home across three harddisks. Now one of them is experiencing problems (I/O errors). I'll get a replacement soon but obviously I'd like to rescue as much data as possible. What would be my best bet? Free 250G off /home, then try pvmove to move the data off that harddisk, or wait for the replacement disk, and then boot some mini-Linux without LVM support, and using dd_rescue to clone the whole disk?
