Hello list,
I may found a bug, when lv is raid1, and each leg includes more than one PV.
When doing "lvconvert --replace" to replace one of the oldpv with a newpv,
It looks lvconvert requires full raid array size for a single newpv.
lvm version: 2.03.12, Reproducible steps:
```
# vgcreate vg1 /dev/sdg /dev/sdh
Volume group "vg1" successfully created
# lvcreate -n lv1 -l 90%FREE vg1
Logical volume "lv1" created.
# vgextend vg1 /dev/sdj /dev/sdk
Physical volume "/dev/sdj" successfully created.
Physical volume "/dev/sdk" successfully created.
Volume group "vg1" successfully extended
# lvconvert --type raid1 vg1/lv1 /dev/sdg /dev/sdh /dev/sdj /dev/sdk
Are you sure you want to convert linear LV vg1/lv1 to raid1 type? [y/n]: y
Logical volume vg1/lv1 successfully converted.

# lvconvert --replace /dev/sdh vg1/lv1 /dev/sdi (<=== failed, should succeed)
Insufficient free space: 89 extents needed, but only 49 available
LV vg1/lv1 in not partial.
# lvconvert --replace /dev/sdg vg1/lv1 /dev/sdi (<=== failed, should succeed)
Insufficient free space: 89 extents needed, but only 49 available
LV vg1/lv1 in not partial.
# pvmove /dev/sdh /dev/sdi
/dev/sdh: Moved: 2.50%
/dev/sdh: Moved: 100.00%
```
pvmove is workable, but I think it's a work around.
lvconvert should run successfully with above cmds.
Thanks,
Heming
