Good evening, Paul.
Thanks but it doesn't work.
Evidently vgrename will not allow me to rename a mounted volume; it
says "Volume group "VolGroup00" still has active LVs".
If I then go and physically reconnect the second drive (the old FC5
drive), there is no lvm command that will allow me to see both drives
AND see their UIDs... the only command that will let me see the UID
is vgscan, and that one will only see the boot drive (the first
instance of VolGroup00), not the old FC5 drive (the second instance
of VolGroup00).
