Do you have kernel messages with ide or scsi errors in
/var/log/messages?

I think there are two potential causes of pvmove erroring out - one is a
bug related to the last allocaten extent, and one is actual disk error.
I fail to see why reducing the size will solve any problems if the cause
is a bad disk - I think you need the patch I mentioned earlier, or a
simular fix.
