SO you can not mount it directly. You would mount something like: mount /dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 /data Where you may run into a problem is that it may be VolGroup00 instead of VolGroup01 and VolGroup00 is probably being used by the new installation as well. You may want to take a look at the LV tools. (man lvm is a good place to start.) Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
