I currently run an LVM with 4 drives of various sizes on Ubuntu Server for my All-in-one Media Server, Media Client and NAS box.

Now because I'm itching to make work for myself and play with new toys I want to switch this machine to Windows 10 and use Storage Spaces instead.

But I don't have any drive large enough to move all the data to and make for a simple transfer, although I have a 1TB spare for moving data off 1TB at a time if I absolutely have to.

So maybe question is...

Is there anyway I can access the entire LVM volume or even the individual drives to copy the data off from Windows?

or the other way round...

If I create the Storage Space pool with 1 drive in Windows 10 first, can I access that from Linux and copy data to it? That way I could move the data directly and take the drives out of the LVM one at a time and switch them to Windows with a bit of a mission.
