I am new to linux so forgive me if I misstate something..
I have three drives, two of which make one data volume in Fedora 5.
The main drive still works fine but one of the two other drives died.
I get the following on the boot screen:
Setting up logical volume management: 2 logical volumes in colume
group "VolGroup00" now active
Checking file systems
'sck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'LABEL=/var'
The data on the two drives is not important. I was wondering if I can
replace the drive and have it become part of VolGroup00 without
reinstalling the OS.
Is this possible?
Thank you,

At least on my own system, /var contains a lot that I value. I have
to think that something in your /var will eventually be missed and
needed.
At this point, it's usually stated that you can restore from your most
recent backup. :-)
Perhaps it's time to consider building something newer. Perhaps with
Fedora 7 or so. That would then be your opportunity to get a complete
/var again. I read that some folks have issues with Fedora 9 you
might like it anyway.
Good luck to you,
