I am thinking about adding a 160 gig partition to my LVM setup of
100+80+80 gig of mythtv storage.  I may have to do some acrobatics to
get the cabling where it needs to be.  If I plug and unplug ide cables,
so long as hda remains hda, hdb remains hdb and so forth and so on, will
I corrupt my current LVM storage?  I probably will If I change the
ordering of the drives.
