Subject: [gentoo-user] lilo 'duplicate volume id' issue after attaching esata enclosure
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2012 08:30:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALxYTP5JvQJnikwiSaH8=Xx8d-upVs1utng1XrnYT79X4g2u8g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

The subject line pretty much says it all. I've been happily using lilo
to boot from my internal 4-disk sata array (md, raid 1) for a while
now and I recently bought an external sata enclosure. I cabled it up
to my machine, added 4 disks I had sitting around, and on boot, lilo
throws a 'duplicate vol-id detected' error and halts...
I did a bunch of googling, and it looks like if I could just get
booted, running 'lilo' would actually fix the problem, but I can't get
lilo booted past this error.

Ideas on how I can fix/remove the vol-id from the external disks?
