Good evening, Antonio.

Thanks, I read through both of those (as best I could given the HUGE 
array of irrelevant stuff in the first reference) and between that 
and everything else I have spent the afternoon researching, I cannot 
find anything that addresses the case where both physical drives are 
detected by the system as VolGroup00 (so that according to 
/dev/mapper I have only one VolGroupXX, and according to pvs, both 
/dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 have a VolGroup00.

There appears to be no way for the system to distinguish between the 
VolGroup00 on /dev/sda2 and the VolGroup00 on /dev/sdb2.

ALL documentation I have read assumes that the VolGroup on one drive 
is 00 and the one on another drive is 01.

Until I can resolve that one issue, I cannot mount my old FC6 drive, at all.
