After installing F11 on a new hard disk (I used the upgrade to F11 as an
excuse to buy a faster disk) a now want to copy over some data from the
old hard disk containing F10. I attached the old drive to the system via
a sata-to-usb converter but I am unable to mount any of the lvm
partitions on it.
While trying to various lvm commands I can see the partitions but I
cannot mount them as there are no corresponding devices in /dev
or /dev/mapper.
pvscan output:
PV /dev/sdf2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [931.31 GB / 32.00 MB free]
PV /dev/sda2 VG vg_paragon lvm2 [931.31 GB / 0 free]
Total: 2 [1.82 TB] / in use: 2 [1.82 TB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
pvdisplay output:
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sdf2
VG Name VolGroup00
PV Size 931.32 GB / not usable 7.11 MB
Allocatable yes
PE Size (KByte) 32768
Total PE 29802
Free PE 1
Allocated PE 29801
PV UUID rlSI5y-Tp8c-TdGq-dMO6-vMEU-zKRx-ftKgsw
VolGroup00 is the partition I want to mount.
What magic commands do I need to be able to mount the lvm partition on
the external drive?
Thanks,
Jurgen
