personally i like to add the clone-to disk as a mirror into my lvm, then |
| 23 |
once it is synced, i stop service such as databases, split the mirror |
| 24 |
and then start databases again. |
| 25 |
this lets me import the lvm to the new location practically identical, |
| 26 |
of course fstab etc need changing at the other end |
