Can you tell LVM that /dev/hdb1 is now /dev/hda1 without losing
information?


You only tell LVM about a drive's physical location once, in order to write
the LVM label on it.  After that, the physical drivers are scanned on each
boot, and LVM uses it's on data inside of the volumes to determine what is
what.

It's one of the nice features of LVM.  I have a SATA machine which likes to
renumber the drivers depending on bios settings.  Since my root is not LVM,
I usually have to change the root= boot line, but the rest never has
bothered LVM.
