Ok, thank you, that gives me a bit more information:
[root@box6 bob]# file -s /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc1: LVM2 (Linux Logical Volume Manager) , UUID:
X5Vx9im0hf7hS6Y4WNhdW2ju8heRtUh
[root@box6 bob]# blkid /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc1: UUID="X5Vx9i-m0hf-7hS6-Y4WN-hdW2-ju8h-eRtUhR"
TYPE="LVM2_member"
Is there a way to list directories and files?
The drive was configured for use with the logical volume manager
(LVM2). 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.
[___ useful examples and such snipped ___]
Thanks, this is a good cheat sheet to give to new (or reluctant) LVM
users.
Don't know if it helped the OP but I found it useful.
Yes, I posted the question and found the response interesting and
helpful. I spent a couple of hours reading man pages and
experimenting with the lvm commands on various drives.
But I have not been able to open a volume and list the directories
and files, such as /home and /etc! I must be dense ...
This from another drive:
[root@box6 bob]# lvm
lvm> pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sdb2
VG Name VolGroup00
PV Size 74.43 GB / not usable 22.62 MB
Allocatable yes
PE Size (KByte) 32768
Total PE 2381
Free PE 1
Allocated PE 2380
PV UUID J5Yc28-aO4n-ODWI-1c0W-H9Jr-04jN-ufwyRj
And fdisk shows:
Disk /dev/sdc: 20.0 GB, 20020396032 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2434 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000c6487
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 * 1 2434 19551073+ 8e Linux LVM
But I can't mount this one either using " mount /dev/sdc1 -t
ext3 /mnt/hdtest "
It protests about the file type[?]. Perhaps lvm requires a
different type?
