hi all,

I have RH 7.1 and I snagged kernel 2.4.9 from kernel.org with LVM-1.0
and the reiserfs patches.

I have my system running which hdd as the root drive with /boot as ext2 and an LVM / & /home reiserfs filesystems.

what do I need to do before/during/after I physically swap hda with hdd in the same PC?

Sincerely,
Jason Edgecombe

Just run vgscan after the swap. vgscan looks at all the devices hunting for LVM labels, these labels contain unique id's for PV's.
