Hi, :-)

well what happens when i have a VG build out of /dev/hd[e-h]1 (4
harddrives) and build in now a additional IDE controller and 4
additional harddrives and this new IDE controller wants these
driverletters now, so /dev/hde gets /dev/hdi and so on? Will a vgscan
in the startupscripts detect the right drives anyways due to the headers
of each harddisk and build the VG/LV as it was before just with different
driveletters?

If not, what do i need to do? Havent found much info about it, but well
must be also be honest, hadnt much time to look for it. ;-/ Sorry if
somebody asked this already.

Thanks in advance.

Oli
