This would alleviate the problem of importing a VG for repair. But it also defeats a major purpose of cloning -- to create a large number of *identical* systems. If I change the VG name on every system to keep it "safe", I have to document that and I lose a major advantage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
