I forgot to explain that the current VM has a 6TB logical volume. I
would like to move that data to our iSCSI SAN which I have carved out
a 8TB logical volume on. The problem comes when I try to migrate the
lv via dd or other means as the host system takes a dump. Does it
sound like the only option is the "rsync -vrlptgoDH" command? That is
what I used to get the data from the original machine to the vm.
