How to swap one hard drive with another when using LVM?
As my harddisks are completely full I want to swap a 1,5TB drive with a 2TB drive to give me some breathing space. The 1,5TB is part of a LVM spanned volume. My simple question, how do I move all data from the one drive to the other drive without ruining my spanned volume?

Thanks. That could be the way to do it. One thing which makes this method less handy is that I don't have any free Sata ports which means I would have to connect the drive using USB so that slows down the stuff considerably. I was hoping for a method where I could just put the 2 drives in a standalone computer and run some cloning program that copies the data from drive 1 to drive 2, but I'm afraid I break my LVM that way.

I would think that you should be able to clone the drive
& resize it after testing. |
