[linux-lvm] Defragmenting a VG

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello!

Does anyone know of a tool for LVM2 which defragments a VG, so
that the PEs of the LVs are consecutive?

Thanks,

man pvmove
and move them around manually.
(Needs --alloc anywhere to move within the same disk.)

Perhaps someone has already written a script that uses pvmove to 
defragment LVs?
