Since nobody with real experience doing that has answered, I'll supply my fewer than 2 Eurocents... According to its manpage, it should be safe to use pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize <newsize> <pvdevice> prior to resizing the partition. It should complain if there are extents in use beyond <newsize>. I say "it should" because I never tried it. So make a backup, blahblah, etcetera... > And then once that's done, > how safe is it to move the lvm partition around on the drive? That is up to somebody with more knowledge to answer.
