How do you change the volume name on the second volume when both volumes have the same name? I have not found a way to specify "rename the volume on sdb2" or anything similar to that. This issue is now moot for the moment. I decided that the path of least-likely screw-up would be to simply disconnect the "main" hard drive in this computer and attempt to boot off of the drive that I took out of the other one. This actually worked and, after running fsck for a couple of hours, everything seemed to work well enough to copy the data over to the new computer that I got to replace the one that the hard drive came out of. Now that the job has been completed, I re-connected the "main" hard drive in this machine again and I'm now back to the same setup that I had when I wrote the original inquiry: [root@mutt ~]# pvscan PV /dev/sdb2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [279.25 GB / 32.00 MB free] PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [465.56 GB / 32.00 MB free] Total: 2 [744.81 GB] / in use: 2 [744.81 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] At this point, since the second hard drive seems to be in good condition, I think I would like to re-format it and either add it to the existing volume on sda2 to make one big logical drive, or just reformat it and make a second lvm on it again and add it my directory tree. Which approach would be better? And how do I extend a lvm to cover both drives if that's what I end up doing? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
