OK.  Everyone duck, I been thinking on this and Neils info above.  lol  
This is what I sort of figured out and tell me where I am off here.  I 
have to reduce the file system, change the partition in cfdisk (?), 
resize the lv, then reduce the vg, then I can run pvmove?  After all 
that, I can remove the drive sdb?  Do I have the order correct too?  If 
it does involve all this, I'm not sure I want to do this.  The file 
system and cfdisk part makes me nervous.  Maybe some of this isn't 
needed and I am reading some of the info incorrectly, I hope.

Thanks.
