If using LVM it's possible to do this entirely at the LVM layer without 
interrupting the filesystem, I wouldn't recommend it without first taking a 
backup though.

The commands used for this are pvcreate, vgextend, pvmove, vgreduce and 
pvremove.

If using tar make sure you do a test run first, we've found several bugs with 
tar recently that lead to errors.
