I need to move Fedora 14 to another hard drive to make more room for Windows. My current Fedora configuration consists of a boot partition, and an lvm2 partiton consisting of root, home, and swap. I have installed a 2nd hard drive and plan to use lvm vgextend, lvm pvmove and lvm vgreduce to move Fedora to the 2nd drive. I understand that I will also have to move the /boot partition as well.
My questions are:
How to I tell grub where the system is now located, or will I have to re-install grub?
Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to change the "root (hd0,0)" line to point at the second drive
Do I simply create new mount points for /root and /home?
Yes and no. The mount points will move with the filesystems as you migrate. Check /etc/fstab to
ensure that the volumes are mounted via UUID. Check the volume UUIDs with the blkid command
to see if they changed.

How do I tell the “system” where the new swap is located?
edit /etc/fstab to point at the new partition.
Are there other considerations that I need to look into?
should be relatively straighforward once the moving is done. If you can, take backups for safety before moving.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
