 |
|
This is more of a general Linux question than a BLAG question, but it is pertinent - indirectly. My laptop is running BLAG 50002, with a /boot partition on a physical volume and the root filesystem on a logical partition. When I boot a live CD (dyne:bolic, Puppy and Kanotix are favorites), I can easily mount the physical partition but not the logical partition. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
this straight out of linux format issue 82 answers page.
“As long as you have the LVM tools installed on the distro you
are booting, you can mount LVM partitions for any disk ( I even did
it from a USB key once). Run
vgscan
vgchange -a -y
as root and all the partitions should have devices created in the form
/dev/volumegroup/logicalvolume
which you can then mount in the usual way:
mount /dev/volumegroup/logicalvolume /mnt/somewhere”

I finally had a chance to try this out today. It worked perfectly, except that the options for the "vgchange" command were "-a y" instead of "-a -y". In any event, I thank you for helping me out.
