Haven't actually tried it, but how about just a
dd if=/dev/vg00/lv00 of=/dev/vg00/lv01
Assuming both are unmounted/unchanging while you do it.

hello all,
Hoping for some help on copying Logical Volumes.
I would like to copy an existing LV to a newly formed LV.
I don't want to do a snapshot of an existing LV.
Only way I've seen is to mount the to LV and: mount /dev/vg00/lv00 /mnt/orig mount /dev/vg00/lv01 /mnt/copy
cd /mnt/orig tar cf - ./ |(cd /mnt/copy; tar xf - )
Is there a LV tool to do this? Or an option used with lvcreate, such as --autobackup? Or maybe pvmove, but that seems more for moving To LV from PV or vesa versa?
Thanks in advance,
