I need to move Fedora 14 to another hard drive to make more room for Windows.  My current Fedora configuration consists of a boot partition, and an lvm2 partiton consisting of root, home, and swap.  I have installed a 2nd hard drive and plan to use lvm vgextend, lvm pvmove and lvm vgreduce to move Fedora to the 2nd drive.  I understand that I will also have to move the /boot partition as well.


Since you are not making any changes to the Fedora partition if the
two drives are identical in size, I would just clone the old drive to
the new one with something like dd or ddrescue. Then you are free to
delete the old Fedora partition to make space for Windows.
