I killed it, and the loop kept going. Unfortunately something had already gone wrong and I had to issue pvmove --abort to get things in order. And that almost worked, except I started getting these: > sudo lvs --all Number of segments in active LV pvmove0 does not match metadata Number of segments in active LV pvmove0 does not match metadata LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert  download lionvg -wi-ao 200.00g home lionvg -wi-ao 100.00g kvmpool lionvg -wi-ao 50.00g opt lionvg -wi-ao 15.00g [pvmove0] lionvg p-C-a- 0 repos lionvg -wi-ao 2.00g root lionvg -wi-ao 4.00g  usr lionvg -wi-ao 20.00g var lionvg -wi-ao 20.00g I was furthermore unable to destroy or make inac
