Not a full solution, but I've re-read the LVM HOWTO again (AJ Lewis did
and is continuing to do an absolutely awesome job with these docs,
they've got the offical Karsten "totally, like, excellent" seal of
approval), and found section 13.6:  "Moving a volume group to another
system".

Anyone experienced with Veritas should find the process relatively
familiar.  There's a few steps to take, but they're pretty quick and
painless, and they work, at least run under qemu (I'll try on a loopback
mount later).


Peace.
