Thanks Kurt

Kurt I don't know if you remember posting this but I saved it thinking 
it would be handy and just wanted to thank you ... I spun up the FC7 
Live cd and needed to access the local LogVols from my FC6 install and 
it worked like a charmer.



Hi, list,

A while back, I started experimenting with Ubuntu after playing with 
Fedora. I
decided to jump to Ubuntu and needed to move data from the Fedora LVM 
volume
to Ubuntu. Here's what I did (I'll write this up as a step this week):

0. Boot Ubuntu.
1. Install lvm2:
    $ sudo apt-get install lvm2
2. Load right module(s):
    $ sudo modprobe dm-mod
3. Scan your system for LVM volumes and identify in the output the volume
    group name that has your Fedora volume (mine proved to be VolGroup00):
    $ sudo vgscan
4. Activate the volume:
    $ sudo vgchange -ay VolGroup00
5. Find the logical volume that has your Fedora root filesystem (mine 
proved
to be LogVol00):
    $ sudo lvs
6. Create a mount point for that volume:
    $ sudo mkdir /mnt/fcroot
7. Mount it:
    $ sudo mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/fcroot -o ro,user
8. Copied my files.

Hope this helps someone else. As I said, I'll write this up as a Step later
this week.

Kurt
