you should see progress (i think it gives some progress
without -v iirc), just estimate based on moved PE / total PE
and compare to elapsed time.

with LVM1 at least, it's quite slow, but I moved 40G in
less than 4 hours, so...

one thing that threw me, was that it doesn't start moving
for a LONG time and there is no output.  I had very
important data, so I didn't kill it, because I knew it was
doing stuff based on wchan :)
