No idea. That's not what I meant by storage migration - which essentially is the ability to allow filesystems to transfer themselves between physical devices/arrays (think: hardware upgrades) without user intervention - it's possible with LVM but takes some commandline juggling and is _extremely_ tedious (although less tedious than the alternatives) when there are multiple Tb involved.
