Edit lvm.conf to hide the old disk. [with a filters line] Then you can add the disk to the machine and lvm will ignore it. Create a temporary 'lvm' directory somewhere else and copy lvm.conf into it and reverse the filter so it *only* looks at your old disk. Set environment variable LVM_SYSTEM_DIR to your temp dir. and run 'vgrename' to change the name of the VG. Then get rid of the environ var & the temp dir and reset the filter in lvm.conf so it sees everything again. Alasdair -- agk@xxxxxxxxxx
