Previously I was using FC5 with 40GB HDD with default partition option provided during installation ( /boot,/,swap and rest is bulk free space). In same computer I am trying to install FC6 in my new 160GB drive and remove the old FC5. Now after installing FC6 in new drive, I connected the old FC5 disk as slave drive. When I used GParted to see info in the slave drive, it only shows the /boot partition as ext3 and rest(/ partion) as unknown. Trying to mount the FC5 drive give me the device busy or unkown partion error. I actually wanted to transfer some files from my FC5 to my new FC6 drive. However, I tried to do the reverse which is boot from FC5 disk and mounted FC6 disk (which was manually partitioned without LVM) and it worked. Even if was able to do my job, I am still curious about how to mount the LVM enabled drives in the case (supposingly) when its not bootable? I am sure I am not the only one with this problem....:-)
