[mythtv-users] LVM and a new hard drive

I just finished building my Myth box and it works pretty well. Earlier this
week I ordered a new hard drive for it. The machine has two hard drives in
it currently (40 GB and 20GB), along with a CD-RW and a DVD-R so that means
that both IDE channels are full. When I built the system I partitioned the
hard drives as follows: The 40 GB hard drive has /boot (ext2) 100MB, swap
768MB, and / (ext3) 12GB with the rest of the drive in an LVM with the 20GB
hard drive formatted jfs. I guess I would like to know is: Can I replace the
20GB hard drive with the 80GB hard drive, add it to the LVM and format it
jfs without having to reinstall everything? Or will removing the 20GB hard
drive trash the LVM to the point of having to reinstall everything? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
 Thanks,
Phekno
