I'm new, but I think if you add it to a system, some changed things will appear on boot. Do a pvscan --verbose vgdisplay --verbose lvdisplay --verbose xxxx # for each volgroup to get a layout. I *suspect* the LVM routines have everything set up as far as the physical aspects go. But the normal VolGroup00/LogVol00 is already used on your machine. I'm not sure how LVM will place the new volume into the system. If lucky, just find the physical volume and makes new /dev/mapper entries. That would be good. I've not had to do this carrying a disk to another machine. Depending on what it shows, we might be able to proceed easily. Post results here. If it's beyond me, I'm sure some of the more experienced folks will be able to help. > <snip> > Alfred > <snip sig stuff> HTH -- Bill
