I just lost my laptop today .. (motherboard/power unit/whatever goes broken -> the laptop wont even power on) ..
in the hdd theres a few assignments and project work which i need to submit tomorrow and a few days later next week ... and now i'm trying to mount the laptop hdd -> which using LVM - connected using a USB connection , from my desktop ... any idea how to init the groups and and make the partitions appear on /dev/ ???
See "man lvm"
This lists the related tools, in particular
lvscan (scan for logical volumes) lvdisplay - which will tell you about volumes
and especially vgscan
I tried ur suggestion .. but it seems like its only scanning the local drives - ignoring the HDD thats connected through USB ... but i'll keep trying ... thanx :)
btw ... the lvm group in my local hdd have the same name than the one in USB ... will this causes conflicts that might able to cause dataloss??
which I suspect is what you need in order to make the volumes appear
