LV attribute question

["Robert G. (Doc) Savage" <dsavage@peaknet.net>]

I just bought a Seagate Momentus (120GB, 5400rpm) hard drive to replace
a 48GB TravelStar that's been throwing SMART errors. I'm trying to
re-create anaconda's default FC4 LVM2 structure on the new drive then
rsync everything over, but it's been slow slogging.

With the new drive connected as /dev/sdb via USB2, I can't get the
attributes to match up:

  # lvs
  LV       VG         Attr   LSize   Origin Snap%  Move Copy%
  LogVol00 VolGroup00 -wi-ao  43.56G
  LogVol01 VolGroup00 -wi-ao   1.00G
  LogVol10 VolGroup10 -wi-a- 110.68G
  LogVol10 VolGroup10 -wi-a-   1.00G

What's the "o" attribute and how is it set???

The following steps got me where I am now:
  1. # fdisk /dev/sdb
       Command (m for help): n<ew partition>
         Command action: p<rimary partition (1-4)>
         Partition number (1-4): 1
         First cylinder (1-14593, default 1): 1
         Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-14593, default 14593): 13
       Command (m for help): n<ew partition>
         Partition number (1-4): 2
         First cylinder (14-14593, default 14): 14
         Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (14-14593): 14593
       Command: t<ype partition>
         Partition number (1-4): 2
         Hex code (type L to list codes): 8e <Linux LVM>
       Command: w<write>
  2. # partprobe
  3. # mke2fs /dev/sdb1
  4. # dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=2048
  5. # pvcreate /dev/sdb2
  6. # vgcreate VolGroup10 /dev/sdb2
  7. # lvcreate -L 110.68G -n LogVol10 VolGroup10
  8. # lvcreate -L 1G -n LogVol11 VolGroup10
