Yes, you are right, both disks have LVM file systems. 4. Re: Silly thing like a mount command appears to not be working correctly?

(All install defaults taken) Fedora core5 on a 200 gig dedicated drive. (All def! aults taken) Using system bios, I can boot from either drive. I can mount the boot partition from either system to the other, but I cannot mount the data partitions. My commands were (from root) mkdir /other (on each hard drive) mount -t ext3 /dev/hda? /other where I tried ? from 7 all the way to 1. On the core4 system, The system could not find values of /dev/hda7 through 3 . Refused /dev/hda2 and showed me the boot partition for /dev/hda1 On the core5 test3 system using the default values as set up by annaconda at install time, I could see the boot partition on /dev/hdb1 but no other partition. Is there something I am doing wrong? I tried many flavours of xxx for the mount -t xxxx (auto, ext2, ext3) , eluding -t parameter. Your test against a vanilla corex drive would be appreciated.
