What's the order of the block layers?

- LVM on top of dm-crypt on top of raw device, or
- dm-crypt on top of LVM on top of raw device

Either way, you can extend your VG with the new disk, pvmove everything
from the old disk and then vgreduce the VG by the old disk. If you need
more specific help, please post your setup (etc/fstab, /etc/crypttab, ls
-l /dev/mapper/).
