Hi

I have a sata disk that I've connected to my FC6 box over usb that I
try to get some data from. It's the root disk from an other FC6 box
and problem is that both this external disk and my own root disk have
lvm volume group named VolGroup00 (fedora default I guess) and the one
from my root disk is shadowing the one from the external disk. This is
what vgdisplay displays

 --- Volume group ---
  VG Name               VolGroup00
  System ID
  Format                lvm2

  VG UUID               gD5d1N-Fg6p-XDdH-Fvs3-Lalo-8P1a-BSgTrh

  --- Volume group ---

  Alloc PE / Size       1098 / 34.31 GB

I've looked at vgrename, but it seems to lack proper parameters to
rename based on UUID.

Any advice?
