[Sorry about the dup; sent this to redhat-list earlier but just discovered this list which the more appropriate place.] Hi- I lost a machine (bad PS or MB -- disk is fine) and am trying to bring up the disk in a second machine in order to access certain filesystems from it. The second machine's disk has a single volume group 'vg0' containing several logical volumes, 'root', 'usr', 'home', etc (/boot is its own primary partition). Unfortunately the disk from the dead machine is configured almost identically, with a single 'vg0' volume group and some logical partitions of the same name. Booting with both disks in the machine fails; it gets totally confused about which /dev/vg0/root (for example) it is supposed to be using. I think I can configure lvm.conf so that the second disk is ignored by pvscan/vgscan during bootup, but I'm still stuck on how to actually mount any of the second disk's LVM filesystems because of the name clashes. Somehow I'd like to rename the volume group on the second disk to 'vg1', for example. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!
