[linux-lvm] LVM and hardware device re-ordering?

I'm looking at implementing my first LVM system. It looks
pretty straight-forward. (Very similar to the LVM stuff I
saw in AIX v3.x and Veritas management Sun used to manage
SPARCStorage Arrays.)
The one nagging question in my mind is:
How resilient is LVM to a sudden renumbering of
physical hard disks?
Assume no disks have actually failed, just that a new disk
gets added and suddenly all the LVM drives get notched up
a drive letter.
For example,
Before After SCSI ID* description
------ ----- -------- --------------------------------
sda sda 0,0,0,0 operating system disk (HW RAID)
-- sdb 0,0,1,0 new added disk (e.g. a CD drive)
sdb sdc 1,0,0,0 LVM PV#1
sdc sdd 1,0,0,1 LVM PV#2
sdd sde 1,0,0,2 LVM PV#3
----------------------------------------------------------
* The four numbers are: (1) controller, (2) controller
channel, (3) SCSI target, (4) SCSI LUN.
Can I just assume LVM will do the right thing, and my VG
created from the three physical volumes will be OK?
Thanks,
