I want to remove an internal Zip drive (SCSI ID#2) to make way for a DVD drive. However, I have two SCSI drives set-up with LVM as follows and realise that removing the Zip drive will cause a number of problems. Here's my current configuration: sda Hard disk 0 (boot) - ID#0 sdb Zip disk - ID#1 sdc Hard disk 1 - ID#2 cdrecorder - ID#6 / (root) is /dev/sdc5 (reiserfs) /boot is /dev/sda5 (ext2) swap is /dev/sda6 Everything else is on the LVM spanning two physical volumes: one logical volume. And here's what I plan to do: 1. Unplug the Zip drive and change SCSI ID of Hard disk 1 to ID#1 2. Boot system into single user mode: linux S root=/dev/sdb5 3. Remount root filesystem and /boot as read/write: mount -n -o remount, rw / mount -n -o remount, rw /boot 4. Edit /etc/lilo.conf and change instances of "sdc " to "sdb" 5. Run mk_initrd followed by LILO: mk_initrd && /sbin/lilo 6. Re-boot What I am uncertain of is whether this approach will work with LVM. Can any one advise? BTW, I'm using SuSE 7.2 Professional.
