When this happened to me, I got a replacement drive as large as that drive, and used dd to copy the PV data bit-by-bit to the new disk, and then zeroed the sectors corresponding to the old bad sectors. It worked fairly well, but the bad sectors were probably only file data blocks for me. As far as I managed to find out, pvmove will not handle bad sectors at all, and abort when it finds any. It would be great if anyone could correct me on that, though...
