Hi guys,
I have two disk one with OS and a second disk containing an LVM. I would like to OS reload the server without losing LVM.
I heard that LVM is self sustaining. Is that true ? Should I backup something(using vgcfgbackup & vgexport ?) to get LVM running after os reload.
If you're otherwise (apart from mounting) not touching the disks in your LVM setup, I see no reason why you should need to do any backups.
Correct. Other than the usual backups you already have of course :) LVM does additionally keep some backup information in ls /etc/lvm/ so if you're particularly paranoid you might want to be sure that you've kept a backup of that from your old system. But I frequently install new operating systems into machines that have LVM and never have any problem in that regard.
