I need to move Fedora 14 to another hard drive to make more room for Windows. ÂMy current Fedora configuration consists of a boot partition, and an lvm2 partiton consisting of root, home, and swap. ÂI have installed a 2nd hard drive and plan to use lvm vgextend, lvm pvmove and lvm vgreduce to move Fedora to the 2nd drive. ÂI understand that I will also have to move the /boot partition as well.

My questions are:

How to I tell grub where the system is now located, or will I have to re-install grub?
 Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to change the "root (hd0,0)" line to point at the second drive

Â
Do I simply create new mount points for /root and /home?
   Yes and no. The mount points will move with the filesystems as you migrate. Check /etc/fstab to
   ensure that the volumes are mounted via UUID. Check the volume UUIDs with the blkid command
   to see if they changed.
Â
How do I tell the âsystemâ where the new swap is located?
   edit /etc/fstab to point at the new partition.
Â
Are there other considerations that I need to look into?
   should be relatively straighforward once the moving is done. If you can, take backups for safety before moving.
Â
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

You're welcome. Hope This helps (HTH)
