If you still want to work on LVM, you can use lvconvert to mirror your |
| 16 |
old volume on the new disk and then remove the old disks. The creation |
| 17 |
of the mirror should be inherently secure. pvmove should be safe, too. I |
| 18 |
know pvmove once crashed for me (old kernel bug, years ago) and I didn't |
| 19 |
loose data. |

| 21 |
# create mirror, report progress every 10 seconds |
| 22 |
lvconvert --interval 10 -m1 vg00/lvol1 /dev/new_disk |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
# detach mirror, creates snapshot |
| 25 |
lvconvert -m0 vg00/lvol1 |
