The -alloc=aywhere simply refers to the log. I'm not concerned about the log, I'm concered about the actual image extents, which seem to be both on /dev/md1. > Using this format should allow you to force the move of a copy from > one device to another, see the pvmove man page for more details. > > pvmove /dev/sdb1:1000-1999 /dev/sdc1:0-999 The end goal is to convert the mirror to a linear volume (on /dev/md2). I'm still not convinced that pvmove is the right utility for mirrored extents. But thanks for the advice - I will try it if lvconvert -m0 fails.
