If I currently have a volume group consisting of two drives and I add a third drive and them pvmove from the two existing drives to the new drive, will that defragment my LVs? i.e.: # pvmove /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc where /dev/sdc is the new empty drive. Or will it just move the PEs from each source disk (in turn) in the order they appear on the source disk, effectively just concatenating the two sources disks to the new target disk? If the answer to the above is yes, if I limit my pvmoves to a single LV at a time, will that defragment the LVs or will it simply move the "chunks" of the LV from the first source disk to the target disk followed by the chunks from the second source disk? (Although likely that will have the desired effect anyway, as the second disk was added subsequent to the first disk getting fullish.)
