I have some problems with copying LV volumes and determining correct size. For instance, if I want to copy an LV from one machine to another. I dd the LV to a file on the other machine, then dd the file to the new LV. That fails, because a few MB are missing.
I'd probably use dump ... | restore ... to copy it, assuming its an e2fs/e3fs on that logical volume. then the volume sizes are immaterial.
