I've done this now and the procedure is fairly easy and very safe. I did a test run with VMs first, of course. You don't need to vgchange/vgexport etc. These changes do not carry over, anyway. A new system will find all volumes and make them active. But this doesn't matter. For a kickstart installation you simply change the previously used disk config lines a bit, like this: partition /boot --fstype ext3 --onpart=sda1 partition pv.2 --onpart=sda2 volgroup dom0 --noformat pv.2 logvol swap --name=swap --vgname=dom0 --noformat logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=root --vgname=dom0 --useexisting This reuses sda1 for /boot, sda2 for the volume group, an lv swap for swap without a reformat and an lv root for /, reformatting it. For an installation on real partitions only you use only the --onpart command. Hope this helps someone in the future. Kai -- Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com
