Hi guys,

My turn for an off topic plee for help :)

LVM, I know what it does, and why to use it (which is why I'm using it, 
duh :)), but it's still all a bit of a mystery.
Currently I have this setup:
        Server:
                /dev/hdb 80gig maxtor, working
                /dev/hde 60gig deathstar, need to ask? :P
                development-sources, lvm2
                As one big LV, formatted XFS
        Desktop:
                /dev/hdb 200gig maxtor, replacement for deathstar
                ck-sources, lvm
                formatted ext3

Once I've rescued as much as I can I will be ripping out the dead drive and 
putting the new one in. I'm aware that lvm2 can read lvm metadata, so I 
should just be able to copy the configuration across. But, I want to move the 
drives to a different controller, obviously changing their address.
The new 200gig drive already has 153gigs of stuff on it, so funky lvm moves 
and add/removes can't happen. Then what configuration I can find is in binary 
files, so I can't even edit those :(

Can anyone give me some hints on a method to achieve this? Or am I going to 
have to borrow a 200gig drive from work on monday? (I can do that, as I have 
a spare one, and I'm the sys admin, but I'd prefer not to have to wait until 
monday)

Cheers
