The easiest thing to move lvm partitions from one physical partition to another is as follows: 1. pvcreate <new> (create lvm2 data on the partition) 2. vgextend <vg> <new> (adds the new partition to the volume group) 3. pvmove <old> (moves the extends to the new partitions) 4. vgreduce <old> (removes the old partition from the volume group) 5. pvremove <old> (wipes the lvm2 markings from the partition) > > I guess this is in the partition table?
