The -alloc=aywhere simply refers to the log. I'm not concerned about the log, I'm concered about the actual image extents, which seem to be both on /dev/md1.

The end goal is to convert the mirror to a linear volume (on /dev/md2). 
I'm still not convinced that pvmove is the right utility for mirrored extents. But thanks for the advice - I will try it if lvconvert -m0 fails. (this is a test server).
