The LVM system uses UUIDs (which are almost guaranteed to be unique) to label each LVM PV, VG, and LV. I believe you can use "vgscan" to display them, and then reference the UUID of the VG in question when you run "vgrename" to rename it to something *not* "VolGroup00". It's hard for people to know to name their VGs something else when they first use LVM, but I tend to name them after my systems. That way if I ever have to transplant a disk the work is just a mite easier. That might be a good bug to file against the Installation Guide, though... -- Paul W.
