Something I do recommend doing is renaming the physical volume from
'Volume00' or whatever to something like '0603300GSEAGhda5' (i.e. 2006,
March, 300G, Seagate, hda5), so that if you ever host it in a machine that
already has LVM volumes, you'll hopefully avoid naming clashes.

Best Regards,
Alex.
