very brief characteristics:
large fileserver
RHEL v3 AS (2.4.21-based kernel)
I have a large RAID device on an external SCSI chain. Currently the 2
drives I've carved out of this device are /dev/sdj and /dev/sdk.
Whenever I add a new drive to the internal SCSI chain on the machine the
external devices drive letters increment (1 new internal -> /dev/sdk and
/dev/sdl). My question is, if I make /dev/sdk a physical volume what
happens when I add a new internal drive? Will LVM recognize that
/dev/sdk is now /dev/sdl and activate the volume group/logical volumes
without any problem? I assume this isn't a problem with DM and 2.6, but
I'm not there yet.
Thanks,
Tim
