It is "vgrename" and please use plain test for emails. John ----------------------------------------------------------------- John, Thanks for your note. I tried to change the name and this is what I get : [root at SeVi ~]# vgrename /dev/VolGroup00 /dev/SeViGroup00 Volume group "VolGroup00" still has active LVs Internal error: Volume Group SeViGroup00 was not unlocked Device '/dev/sda2' has been left open. Device '/dev/sda2' has been left open. Device '/dev/sda2' has been left open. Sorry, if my previous note was not plain text .... thought that it was. I am about ready to regen a new os without the use of LVM, my thought is that I should be able use that to mount the lvm volumes I am trying to recover. If you or others have any other ideas I would appreciate your help. Greg
