I would recommend the System Rescue CD for dealing with LVM. I've found
it has great support for working with all sorts of hard disk formats and
configurations. It supports MD-raid, LVM, etc. I think it also does
dm-raid, and other stuff. Incidentally, it also has PartImage, which is
a tool for taking an efficient image of a filesystem (e.g. not capturing
unused blocks) and restoring it to a different partition. It can't
resize the filesystem--you have to restore to a same-size or larger
partition, then manually grow the FS afterwards, but if you want to make
sure you have everything, exactly the same, it's great.
