Hi,
So, i plug in the drive, it's /dev/hdb the original is /dev/hda, i add
/dev/hdb to my existing lvm setup. Does adding that move the data or do i
have to dump partitions? Then i remove the original drive, shutdown, switch
drives, and boot, and all is well. Did i miss a step?
Thanks.
Dave.

Hello,
My thanks to everyone who has responded. I probably should have
mentioned this box doesn't have a cd-rom in it and it's not practical to
put one in, install was done via network. I read the tldp hard disk
howto and i've got both drives in the box. My problem is the original
howto makes no reference to lvm, when centos 4.4 installed that's what
it used. So i need to transfer the lvm over along with the data and
enlarge partitions to fill the available space on the new drive. And if
possible i need to do this with native tools.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Dave.
You can add the new drive to the existing VG, and then you can remove the
original drive from the VG. That will move all the LV's to the new drive.
