  • Wow, seems I completely misread the pvmove man page. In that case I'll obviously settle for the one volume group solution. :) Commented Mar 8, 2015 at 9:52

    Actually, one could use vgsplit after pvmove to achieve the two volume group solution a bit easier (however, the logical volume still needs to be deactivated using lvchange). Commented Mar 8, 2015 at 12:37

    The usefulness of "pvmove" is a very good reason to use a single VG instead of multiple VGs. Commented Jul 5, 2015 at 23:42

    It seems like vgreduce can then be used to remove the old volume if that is the requirement (It wasn't for the specific question, but a question asking about moving all volumes would likely be marked a duplicate) Commented Nov 15, 2016 at 13:43
