I want to replace an existing 32bit with a 64bit installation (Centos 5). There's an existing LVM with lots of partitions. Most are used for Xen guests. The system itself uses only one of them plus a separate /boot partition that is not on LVM. What's the best course of action here? Should I do the reinstall with kickstart or better manually and reuse the existing filesystem? As I understand once LVM gets loaded it should find the volumes by itself, but will it be able to use the same naming scheme for instance? Or do I have to do some additional stuff, anyway?
Thanks,
Kai
