Yea. I was planning to wait until pvmove was done. It actually finished not to long after I sent the message. It was what prompted me to see if this is possible. I found a page that talks about it but the info didn't explain it much. I'm pretty sure that is the right command but given the limited info, I wasn't sure. Reading the man page helped a little but still wasn't 100% sure then either. Thing is, I only have to unplug and move one of the two drives on that group. Sounds like the right command tho. If not, someone speak up. Dale :-) :-)
