Hi, I'm using LVM with Xen virtual machines by creating sparse image files with something like dd if=/dev/zero of=diskimage bs=1 count=1 seek=1073741824 Then I use a loopback device to use the diskimage as a block device and create a physical volume, volume group and logical volumes on it. This all works great, but when I copy the diskimage file to another file and try to setup a loopback device for it, I get complaints about there being multiple identifical UUIDs for physical volumes and volume groups. So is there a way to change the UUID of a physical volume and volume group? If you are wondering why I would need to copy the diskimage file, its because I'm setting up Xen template images for different OSes that I can then simply copy into place, make a few modifications and then be on my way. -- Mark S.
