Moving LV To New Machine

I'm in the process of moving data from an old machine to a new one.
Both machines are running Fedora 12.

There's rather a lot of data on the old machine and I'm reaching the
conclusion that rather than transfering it over the network I'll just
pull one of the disks out of the old machine, stick it in the new one
and copy the data.

But the disk in the old machine contains a logical volume. The LV
corresponds completely to the disk. i.e. all of the LV is on the disk
and the disk only contains this LV.

If I put the disk in the new machine, will the new machine just
recognise the LV on the disk? Or is there some more configuration I
need to do? Perhaps I can just copy over the relevant line from
/etc/fstab?

Cheers,

Dave...
