.SH NAME
pvmove \- move physical extents
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pvmove
[\-d/\-\-debug] [\-h/\-\-help] [\-i/\-\-interval Seconds] [\-v/\-\-verbose]
[\-n/\-\-name LogicalVolume] SourcePhysicalVolume
[DestinationPhysicalVolume[:PE[-PE]...]...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B pvmove
allows you to move the allocated physical extents (PEs) on
.I SourcePhysicalVolume
to one or more other physical volumes (PVs).
You can optionally specify a source
.I LogicalVolume
in which case only extents used by that LV will be moved to
free (or specified) extents on
.IR DestinationPhysicalVolume (s).
If no
.I DestinationPhysicalVolume
is specifed, the normal allocation rules for the volume group are used.
If \fBpvmove\fP gets interrupted for any reason, it will probably be
necessary to run \fBvgcfgrestore\fP to restore the volume group's metadata to
the state it was before the \fBpvmove\fP began.
\fBpvmove\fP locks the volume group and other LVM2 commands can't access
the volume group metadata until \fBpvmove\fP has completed.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.I \-i, \-\-interval Seconds
Report progress as a percentage at regular intervals.
.TP
.I \-n, \-\-name " \fILogicalVolume\fR"
Move only the extents belonging to
.I LogicalVolume
from
.I SourcePhysicalVolume
instead of all allocated extents to the destination physical volume(s).
.SH EXAMPLES
To move all logical extents of any logical volumes on
.B /dev/hda4
to free physical extents elsewhere in the volume group, giving verbose
runtime information, use:
.sp
\ pvmove -v /dev/hda4
