Thanks Boyd. After reading through it a couple of times, it appears
pretty straight forward.
I've done it probably a dozen times now, and it's not hard if you are
careful. It also helps to know your way around either fuser or lsof to
find (and kill if needed) processes using the areas you are moving to
different LVs.
Shrinking the LV is probably the most dangerous part. You don't want to
have the filesystem be bigger than it's LV at any point. Make *sure* any
filesystem on shrunk LVs are good before you start writing data to new or
extended LVs. That data might end up over-writing the end of the
filesystem!
Please elaborate on how this is done. Visually? 'du -h'?
