This is still stuck after two days. I am thinking perhaps I should do a
pvmove --abort to reverse the move and then do the pvmove differently in
terms of specifying the LV and multiple PVs to use instead. Does this
sound like a relatively safe course of action? I do have backups, but
would prefer not to go through all that. Also, even though I am at this
odd "pvmove 100.0% but still showing pvmove0 LV" status the data is
accessible.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
