6.3.2. Moving the Data

You can move all the used physical extents in /dev/sdc1 to /dev/sdb1 with the pvmove command. The pvmove command can take a long time to execute.

# pvmove /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb1
  /dev/sdc1: Moved: 14.7%
  /dev/sdc1: Moved: 30.3%
  /dev/sdc1: Moved: 45.7%
  /dev/sdc1: Moved: 61.0%
  /dev/sdc1: Moved: 76.6%
  /dev/sdc1: Moved: 92.2%
  /dev/sdc1: Moved: 100.0%

After moving the data, you can see that all of the space on /dev/sdc1 is free.

# pvscan
  PV /dev/sda1   VG myvg   lvm2 [17.15 GB / 0    free]

  PV /dev/sdc1   VG myvg   lvm2 [17.15 GB / 17.15 GB free]
