I would think that's an unusual operation. The simplest answer

be: access your volumes from live media rather than moving your storage
to another similar system. Also, as Chris mentioned, Anaconda will
attempt to generate unique (or at least, not generic) volume names to
avoid that issue on new installs, though it did not always behave that way.
I've never used LVM, so I don't know what happens when you select it in
Anaconda, but it may help to know if the installer always sets the
volume names or if you're allowed to specify your own. I'd think that
given the choice, I'd rather select my own based on what I'm planning to
use them for (and in a production environment, what server they're on)
than hope that I remember to document what partition goes where and can
find it when (not if) I need it.
