One advantage is that pvmove allows you to keep the device online... We are also working on a feature ATM called “duplicate”. It allows you to create a duplicate of any LV stack, create the duplicate where you want, and even change the segment type in the process. For example, you could move a whole RAID5 LV, or thin-p, in one go. brassow _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
