Odd. The Fedora 21 installer should have avoided using the same VG name as before. I just tried this with Fedora 20 and 21. Both default to VG name "fedora" but Fedora 21's installer knows to add numbers if "fedora" already exists. This is what I end up with: [root@f21s ~]# lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert home fedora -wi-ao---- 27.49g root fedora -wi-ao---- 50.00g swap fedora -wi-ao---- 2.02g home fedora00 -wi-a----- 27.45g root fedora00 -wi-a----- 50.00g swap fedora00 -wi-a----- 2.00g And hence no conflict. > > Any way to get access to the old disk in this new setting? vgrename And then you need to make sure that you update grub.cfg and fstab or you won't be able to boot. There's also a chance you'll need to rebuild the initramfs too. So I suggest you pick which VG you want to rename, and boot that instance first. Do the rename, change the fstab, dracut -f, and then grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
