Help!!
My Fedora 7 system at work was slowly dying due to a failing disk drive, so I have an installation on a new disk drive.
However the old disk has been left in the system (so I can retrieve data from it) but with the *same* Volume Group name as the new installation. So, when I do 'vgscan' for example I see:-
[root@localhost ~]# vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... WARNING: Duplicate VG name VolGroup00: Existing P6sqp0-rIos-JYmi-8L32-ymtN-LzB4-g5BdLL (created here) takes precedence over TdWFKp-H4tw-UrVq-Jmre-26hv-zmyE-IZXQLI Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2 Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2 [root@localhost ~]#
How can I sort this out? I have root access and everything, can even get to single user mode I guess. Do I need to do something desperate like boot the old installation (which is still possible), go to single user and rename the Volume Group? Or is there a simpler way?
