The VolGroup00 is the name of the lvm volume group. If you have the xfs partition directly on /dev/hda - you have to first convert that to lvm. I'm not sure what's your current setup is (ie - do you have a single partition for the /, or do you use /dev/hda as a part of the lvm volume). The best way to learn something about lvm is to have a look in the howto: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ If you don't have lvm and want to convert to one the easies way is to add the new drive as first phisical volume of lvm, create a single logical volume on top of that, format it using xfs and then copy files over from the old partition/disk. When everything is on the new drive - add the old drive/partition as next phisical volume and then extend the logical one to span across both drives. regards pshemko _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
