I have an existing LVM setup over 3 hard drives, hda, hdc, hde, with PV's and VG's set up just so. I wish to add a new drive as the new hda, shifting the other drives down the chain such that the old hda becomes the new hdb and so forth. The new drive will have new VG's on its PV's with no overlap; no PV on the new drive will be part of any VG on the old drives. Is it just a simple matter of doing the vgchange -an <volume group>, vgexport <volume group>, shutdown & move the drives, reboot, install Linux onto the new drive and then pvscan, vgimport <volume group> <physical volumes> dance? Or are there any gotchas to be aware of? Thanks! _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
