Ron, Thank you very much for that suggestion. It looks like it might be exactly what I want! I'm assuming I still need to "fdasd" to perform the intial format of the new drive, then just pvmove? If the answer is "yes", you've just made my day!

Eric, I am a SuSe person, but I would consider using the pvmove command to copy physical volumes around. The lvm physical volumes would not have to be the same size. That is, you can copy directly from a smaller lvm physical volume to a larger lvm physical volume and would not have to expand it. (Eliminates step 3 from your process). Ron Foster
