Mounting LVM filesystem
Hi everybody, this is the problem: I've installed Fedora 9 on my pendrive and I'm trying to copy the files of my forward installation of Fedora, which is in the hd. At the shell, I can't mount the filesystem of the previous installation.
This is the output [root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb4 Disco /dev/sdb4: 41.9 GB, 41948928000 byte 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 5100 cylinders Units = cilindri of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xfffcd375 Il disco /dev/sdb4 non contiene una tabella delle partizioni valida (Disk /dev/sdb4 doesn't contain a valid partition table) [root@localhost michele]# mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/linux mount: si deve specificare il tipo di filesystem (you have to specify the filesystem) [root@localhost michele]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb4 /mnt/linux mount: il device speciale /dev/sdb4 non esiste (special device /dev/sdb4 doesn't exist) Any idea? |
With LVM you can use 'pvscan' and 'vgscan' (or 'disktype' if available) to get specs, then 'vgchange -ay' to enable the LVM. After that running 'dmsetup status' or lvdisplay' should show which LVM is available, after which you can mount the device as you would any partition.

Just another output, to better understand my situation

Which commands in my previous post didn't give you output to post and stuff to mount?

Thanks unSpawn 4 your help.
The output is this [root@localhost ~]# pvscan PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [3,62 GB / 32,00 MB free] Total: 1 [3,62 GB] / in use: 1 [3,62 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] [root@localhost ~]# vgscan Reading all physical volumes.

Hi,
I think I have a very similar problem like this, and was wondering if someone can clarify this for me.... So I had a 250gb drive which had a lot of things installed on it. I didn't want to lose it, but I also wanted to install a new OS. So I pulled the disk, replaced it with a 120gb drive installed a new OS. Now I'm trying to mount the old 250gb drive. The current drive is a LVM as well is the old drive. So from this post, my understanding is that if you an VolGroup00 on both drives, you will not be able to mount it. Here's the info. ------------------ fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 14 14593 117113850 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/sda: 249.9 GB, 249998918144 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30393 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 30393 244027350 8e Linux LVM --------------------- pvscan PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [232.72 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/hda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [111.69 GB / 0 free] Total: 2 [344.41 GB] / in use: 2 [344.41 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] |
