This way if I forgot to save something important I still have it on the old drive. The problem comes when I need to put the old drive in. If the old drive's lv was named by the hostname I'd be back to where I started. Well, ok, I did type the lv/lg names once for the other disks when I put them in /etc/fstab, but even if it was a weird string I needed to cut and paste that would still be a lot less work than downloading a live CD iso, burning it to a CD and then booting it just so I can rename the logical disks. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
