Hello, The only volumes I find in /dev/mapper are the newly installed LVM and its swap: [root@library ~]# pvscan PV /dev/hdb2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [74.41 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [465.66 GB / 0 free] Total: 2 [540.06 GB] / in use: 2 [540.06 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] [root@library ~]# vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2 Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2 [root@library ~]# I need to add the old LVM from hdb2 ... The LVMs are named the same... What to do??

I finally figured out I was just missing the --import <a href="http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/k12ltsp.asc" target="_blank">http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/k12ltsp.asc</a> key to finish the install. I may have zotted out a longer history from another console but this may have been it.. It seems I've got our students in a panic. I rsynced a two month old backup back to the homes instead of the nightly... Just too busy- what can I say. The the homes I need are on the old single Centos 5 LVM hard drive. How do I mount this in my fstab? I've never had to deal with lvms before. I always stay away from them when I want second and third independent drives. This one was the main drive though... Can't find anything on google yet on adding an already existing LMV to a running system but I'll keep looking. Thanks, Jim </blockquote></div>
