> 6. Remove hda1, reboot, keep fingers crossed. But I want to restore the whole setup back on to the HDD after setting up LVM on it. On the USB HDD I'm not interested in setting up anything. That's just to help store my data while I migrate. This is what I thought, 1) Boot using a Live Distro which would detect both the HDD and the USB HDD 2) Move all data from HDD to USB HDD. 3) Create LVM setup on HDD. 4) Create same partition structure as it was on HDD earlier. 4) Restore all data from USB HDD to HDD (excluding LVM specific settings) Now, questions: 1) I use udev, so do I need to backup and restore /dev/ ? 2) I doubt if LVM and VG creation happens without the OS on the HDD. Can someone who has experience with LVM confirm this ? If it was plain HDD to HDD migration, it would have been very simple. But personally I think this should work.
