Interchangeable disks

[S Feltrogh]

Hi, I've already raised this issue in the LVM forum, but because I'm crafty (and quite desperate!) I thought I'd run it past you guys too. Basically I am working on a WS that has a disk silo from which an external hard drive can be swapped in and out, depending on the requirements of the user. They already have a few 4GB disks that can be swapped seamlessly (they shutdown the WS, replace the disk, and reboot), but I now have to create another disk for this purpose, except it's a 9GB. Would this work, or would some sort of intervention be required each time the system is started with a different sized disk? The users would like to keep it as simple as possible...

Thanks for your help (and sorry for bothering you with this again!)
S.

SIZE has nothing to do with it. It will work just fine!
