The actual work of pvmove is not done by the command you run; that sets
it up and it is run in the background (by a kernel thread). All the
command you run does then is periodically check and print a percentage
done.
It's the same with btrfs balance and scrub. It may be the operation
completes by kernel code, but with user space detached from the kill,
the status/statistics are lost.
