Pick a unique name for your home system's volume group; change fstab and grub.conf; mkinitrd; boot from a rescue CD; vgrename; cross your fingers; reboot. Then you ought to be able to finish the job you started. ...and don't accept the default VolumeGroup00 name again. -- Rich Graves http://claimid.com/rcgraves Carleton.edu Sr UNIX and Security Admin CMC135: 507-646-7079 Cell: 952-292-6529 _______________________________________________ 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/
