It is also used by pvmove - when you pvmove a volume, a temporary mirror is constructed using dm-raid1, synchronised and then broken. After the pvmove the newly sync'ed copy is substituted for the original PV. > I'm using md and dm-crypt straight on top of the harddrives. I'm not sure I understand - if you're only using md and dm-crypt, why is pvmove involved? You can directly view the status of the mirror/pvmoved volume using "dmsetup status" - the patch I linked to earlier corrected a problem with the status report that prevented userspace correctly parsing the status updates. It does sound from your description like you may have hit a separate problem since you mention that the pvmove does initially proceed correctly.
