Ehm. git commented out all lines starting # :-)

It should be read:

Example - lv1 and lv2 are on sdc:

# lvchange -aly vg_test/lv1
# lvchange -aey vg_test/lv2
# pvmove -i 1 /dev/sdc
   Error locking on node bar-01: Device or resource busy
   Error locking on node bar-03: Volume is busy on another node
...
   Failed to activate lv2
