You need to use the LVM2 tools to find out what volume group is on the disk and what logical volumes it contains. Then you can activate and mount the devices like any other block device. Have a look at the LVM2 documentation/man pages or how-tos for more information. To display volume groups use vgs or vgdisplay: # vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree system 1 11 0 wz--n- 231.66G 88.81G # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name system System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 32 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 11 Open LV 4 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 231.66 GB PE Size 32.00 MB Total PE 7413 Alloc PE / Size 4571 / 142.84 GB Free PE / Size 2842 / 88.81 GB VG UUID qNA2zi-ArAk-htTG-5m4t-G4My-DNSW-2jCzE6 Once you know the name of the volume group you can activate it with vgchange: # vgchange -ay <vg name> Or, if you omit the vg name the command will activate all inactive VGs on the system. Display the logical volumes with lvs or lvdisplay: # lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert foo system -wi-a- 128.00M fooS system -wi-a- 224.00M home system -wi-ao 100.00G lv00 system -wi-a- 416.00M rootvol system -wi-ao 21.03G swap0 system -wi-ao 8.00G t0 system -wi-a- 32.00M t1 system -wi-a- 32.00M tmp system -wi-a- 1.00G usr system -wi-a- 8.00G var system -wi-ao 4.00G Once you know the name of the vg and lv you want to look and they have been activated you can mount them with: # mount /dev/<vg name>/<lv name> /path/to/mount/point You can also carry on inspecting LV contents with file/blkid as you did for the partition.
