As far as I can tell, It's stored in the PVs themselves (when I boot ubuntu it finds all my Debian LVs, for example) . You should be able to drop a disk in elsewhere and have a vgscan/pvscan find it (which happens at boot normally). /etc/lvm/lvm.conf mainly configures how pvscan etc work, so unless you tweaked that it should'nt be necessary to change it on the other box. > -- hendrik > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
