Look out, though; pvmoving swap partitions seems to be decidedly
unreliable in 2.6.15, even if you've swapoffed: I've had cause to try it
three or four times and ended up with my swap device turned into a
SUSPENDED device-mapper target, the pvmove stalled, and the system
unusable (all fork()s hit D state).

Upon reboot pvmove noticed that it had been interrupted and restarted
happily. LVM's approach to robustness is truly excellent. :)
