I reinstall all the time without affecting my LVM. Infact when i
just put in a new 300gig drive cause i had 3 older drives and one was
dying and the others sounded like it, i made one 6 gig partition for
root, one swap, rest i made into LVm incase i ever add more
harddrives. I've reinstalled since cause i wanted to upgrade to
RA22 KnoppMyth, and start fresh. So just wiped out hda1, kept
hda2 (swap), and hda3 (lvm) and everything is fine. How i went
from my 3 drives to one, was to boot up with four, partition the new
harddrive, format hda3, and copy all the stuff on the old LVM to the
new LVM, just named the new LVM group something different. Worked
for me. <br>
