i have a really quick question about LVM, been trying to search but can't really find the answer
here's the scenario
i have my new quad core phenom system running arch, with an LVM volume on a few 1TB drives. i was overclocking it the other night and running geekbench, pulled 8300 flat anyway, not too bad since i started at 4900 on the arch kernel, and then hit 6800 with a custom zen patched kernel. anyhow, before i get carried away, what i want to do, is slap a spare drive and install windows 7 for a wider suite of benchmarks. but i'm worried that the drives with the lvm volume may not go in the same order when i pull the windows drive out.
so what i want to know, is does the order of the drives with the lvm volume matter, or does LVM not care about the order at all?

It shouldn't care. LVM uses its own identifiers/uuids.

Correct - if you look at /etc/lvm/lvm2.conf it should show that it just does a scan within /dev to find the PV's that it needs.

i was pretty sure thats how it worked....but pretty sure just isn't enough sometimes. like when you're looking at 3TB's of data
