dumping acl's

[Cyber Source]

To get more direct to what I am trying to accomplish would be working 
with LVM. In that, specifically, I don't have to figure out dumping 
acl's if, persay, I could learn some tricks in LVM. I see how one can 
transfer data, even entire operating systems with pvmove but that MOVES 
the data from one physical volume to another. If I can find a way to 
COPY the data from one pv to another, case solved. Any ideas on that one?
