.SH DESCRIPTION
.B pvmove
allows you to move the allocated physical extents (PEs) on
.I DestinationPhysicalVolume
is specifed, the normal allocation rules for the volume group are used.
-If \fBpvmove\fP gets interrupted for any reason, it will probably be
-necessary to run \fBvgcfgrestore\fP to restore the volume group's metadata to
-the state it was before the \fBpvmove\fP began.
-
-\fBpvmove\fP locks the volume group and other LVM2 commands can't access
-the volume group metadata until \fBpvmove\fP has completed.
+If \fBpvmove\fP gets interrupted for any reason (e.g. the machine crashes)
+then run \fBpvmove\fP again without any PhysicalVolume arguments to
+continue with any moves that were in progress or use \fBpvmove --abort\fP to
+abort them.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
+.I \-\-abort
+Abort any moves currently in progress.
