Thufir said; ----------------------------- #mount the logical partition mkdir -p /mnt/VolGroup00/LogVol00 mount /dev/hda3/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/VolGroup00/LogVol00 arrakis ~ # arrakis ~ # ./lvm.txt 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active mount: special device /dev/hda3/VolGroup00/LogVol00 does not exist (a path prefix is not a directory) --------------------------------------------------- I think you are almost there. I believe (at least it works on my system) that in the mount command you don't need the "hda3" It should look like; mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/VolGroup00/LogVol00 If you look in the /dev directory I believe you will see a directory VolGroup00 with sub directories for the logVol's. It took me a long while to figure out how to mount them.That is one of the reasons why I just reconfigured to get rid of LVM. Delete Reply Forward Move...
