Can someone tell me how I can non-destructively recreate the volume?
Unfortunately, one of the three partitions got hosed by accident during my earlier experiments, but I managed to restore the LVM following the instructions on this page: <http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_85_5843.shtm> For some reason though I can't mount it as I did previously. The command mount /dev/zinka/films films/ returns mount: you must specify the filesystem type I am missing something?
