Ahhh, so it stores the info on the drive so that it knows what it is. Neato!! I was thinking it was in /etc/lvm/ or something. I've wondered about that for a while now. Naming them based on hostname is also a good idea. I don't have mine named that way but if I ever redo them, I will. It could save me some problems down the road. Thanks much! Dale :-) :-)
