The disk layout on the older one is a 2 partition (/boot and /) with / being a logical volume. Laying out what I think I need to do looks like this :
- yank old drive and cable up to newer system, expecting this 2nd drive
to now be /dev/sdb on the new box 2. pvcreate /dev/sdb1 3. vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sdb1 (VolGroup00 is the volume group name on both system, pretty much default installs in both cases) 3. lvextend -l+100% /dev/VolGroup00 4. resize2fs /
The biggest problems that I've had in similar situations are: 1) An entry in /etc/fstab that looks like LABEL=/boot boot ext3 defaults 1 2 If the 'old' drive has a "/boot" lable, there may be issues. Either blow the old drive away or switch to a /dev/sda1 based fstab for the new machine 2) vg names the same on the 2 drives. Either rename them before moving the drive, or blow them away first.
