David, Logical volumes are usually referenced in /etc/fstab by their /dev entry. For example:
/dev/opt_vg/opt_lv /opt ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2 That is probably why by-path is not an option. Then you write: > caught this when I DDR'd our "golden image" and attempted > to bring it up and it cannot find and mount > " /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0202-part1 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 This entry does not look like a logical volume, rather a conventional file system on a minidisk. To clone Linux systems that contain LVs with DDR, just copy all the PVs (minidisks). Linux will put the PVs, VGs and LVs back together on the clone. Hope this helps.
