I'd use rsync, but you could to a compressed/gzip'd tar, or whatever depending on your bandwidth. (I'd setup the vg's and lv's independently before doing the copy) If it's a pure migration, in the future you might want to look at a standalone subsystem that could simply be moved from one platform to the next (or some other migratable drive soln... even if it's just moving the drives themselves). > > Regards > Peter Larsen > _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
