Well, if you change drives in the same machine, that rule still leaves you with two like-named volume groups. You want different names per drive, so that they don't clash when both are connected to the same box. Personally, I take the approach of physically naming the drives, as well as the software label. I write a name on them with texta, and add that as a prefix or suffix to volume labels. e.g. "fred-boot" That way I can tell what's what, in or out of the box. That's especially handy if you have otherwise identical drive models. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
