Actually, it isn¹t so bad, unless you¹ve given the same volume group name to
volume groups on both systems. Even then, you can recreate the volume group
meta backup file, change the volume group name in the backup and restore the
meta data to the volume group. This is a theory, and I haven¹t gotten it to
work yet, but I¹ve seen it documented, and I¹m trying...
Worse yet is if you cloned system B from system A, and A used LVM, because
then the uuid¹s of all the disks involved will be duplicated, making a
recovery of B using A almost impossible.
