Hallo,

Can LVM handle physical changes of my system, like plugging the PVs
from one controller to another (so the physical device path changes
e.g. from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdf)?

Regards, Markus

Yep, as long as the geometry stays the same. I even moved some disks
from /dev/hd[ce] to /dev/sd[ab] and LVM worked like a charm.

(I used a 3ware IDE controller with /dev/sd[ab] configurated as BOD. It
 is an IDE RAID that appears to the system as a SCSI controller)
