Netzwerk - Mounting Logical Volumes extraspecialbitter - 27.09.2006, 23:27 Uhr Titel: Mounting Logical Volumes
This is more of a general Linux question than a Kanotix question, but it is pertinent - indirectly. My laptop is running BLAG 50002, with a /boot partition on a physical volume and the root filesystem on a logical partition. When I boot the Kanotix live CD, I can easily mount the physical partition but not the logical partition. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "logical partition", a logical drive inside an extended partition or a logical volume created/controlled by a logical volume manager (LVM)? Can you see the partition with
Code:
sudo fdisk -l
?

Thank you for the quick response!

it is a logical volume created and controlled by LVM.
when I type "fdisk -l" I see both the physical partition (/dev/hda1) listed as "Linux" and the logical "partition" (/dev/hda2) listed as "Linux LVM". I can only mount the physical partition ("mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1"). When I attempt to mount /dev/hda2 to /media/hda1 I get this error message:
Code:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
only to discover the lvm is not supported as a filesystem "type". Is this an impossibility?
Thanks again for the help.

I apologize for the duplicate posts. I had twice posted to the Netzwerk forum before realizing that there was an English-language equivalent. Thanks for putting up with a Kanotix newbie.
