Oh yes, and I have two VGs on my desktop, because I want to keep backups
completely separate. But for the usage Dale has mentioned, one VG is
best. If for no other reason that multiple VGs reduce the flexibility of
LVM.
And I wouldn't put another distro on here anyway. I wuv my Gentoo. <

One more question. When I buy another drive, I use pvcreate to get
the new drive ready for LVM. What command adds it to the VG? Is it
vgcreate with some option? I was sort of looking for something like
vgadd or something but no luck finding that. Maybe I am missing it on
the howtos.

That would be vgextend wouldn't it? I just read another bit in another
howto.
