pv-migrate
CLI tool to easily migrate or backup/restore Kubernetes persistent volumes
Runs with mockssource: GitHubGoApache-2.0commit 78c984e2fb85
Go, Apache-2.0 licensed. The project labels itself: backup, bucket storage, kubernetes, migration, persistent volume claims, persistent volumes and s3.
pv-migrate runs, with stand-ins for the services it depends on. An Argusic agent installed it in 17 minutes and hit 1 error and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
Go 1.27.1 installed from tarball; all 14 unit test suites pass; pv-migrate binary built and responds to --help
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 92 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- Go compiler not pre-installed in container10 minutes
- Install time
- 17 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 17 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 1 hit, 1 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- go test ./... exited 0 (14 ok, 4 no-test-file); binary built at /work/repo/pv-migrate prints help with all commands
- Model tokens used

- Exact commit tested

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
- Behaviour against real services
- this run was verified against stand-in services only

Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Recovered from all 1 error without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Licensed Apache-2.0, as reported by its host.
What did not, or is not known
- Only reached a running state against stand-in services, so nothing here proves it works against the real ones.
- Took 17 minutes to install, slower than the median of the 12 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
- Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.
Of the 13 backup projects Argusic has installed and timed, pv-migrate was the 9th fastest to reach a running state, and 9 of 13 reached one at all.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/pv-migrate)Questions
- Does pv-migrate run?
- pv-migrate runs, with mocks standing in for external services. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 17 minutes, hitting 1 error on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test pv-migrate?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 78c984e2fb85. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test pv-migrate?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.10: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does pv-migrate take to install?
- 17 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does pv-migrate need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing pv-migrate?
- 1 thing broke in the recorded run, and 1 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- How does pv-migrate compare with the alternatives?
- Of the 13 backup projects Argusic has installed and timed, pv-migrate was the 9th fastest to reach a running state, and 9 of 13 reached one at all.
- Where is the evidence for pv-migrate?
- The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
