Oh, no - you may say - not again ...
My FC4 system disc (under LVM) had a glitch overnight. It had enough
intelligence to reboot and run fsck which cleaned the disc but left it
unbootable.
One new system disc later, with FC6. I really need to mount the old
/home in order to get user profiles and so on, if it is sane enough.
But because it isn't a simple partition, 'mount' won't touch it. How
do I get it to mount ? I know the VG is still there because 'vgdisplay'
shows it on /dev/hdb2, but - being a system disc - it has the same
name and contents VG00/LV00 as the current (new) system disc on /dev/hda2.
Is this simply a name clash or is there something else I can fix ?

This topic was discussed recently but I do not recall the thread it was in.
The user had to use the rescue media and activate or rename the lvm volumes.
Since I know little about lvm, I will save the steps for the lvm
familiar and append LVM to the subject.
