I tried to install Fedora on an external USB HD.
Of course booting from it didn't work.
On the disk there are an ext3 partition /boot and a LVM partition
If I connect the HD to a PC as USB device it is correctly mounted but I see only the ext3 partition.
How can I see also the LVM???
Tnx
From an earlier posting someone suggested to run the following commands to activate and later deactivate LVM volumes in rescue mode. I used these commands on an external USB drive to get at data from a previous installation and it worked. You might be able to get at your data in this way.

Excerpt from earlier help. Once booted into text-mode rescue, invoke the following commands:
lvm lvscan lvm vgchange -ay
This will scan for all LVM volumes and then will make them active and accessible.
lvm vgchange -an
will deactivate them all.
