HI.
Took a drive from an older FC13 system, put it in a usb drive bay to read from a centos 6.5 system
centos sees the drive, but only reports the drive as 350 M free, of a 640G drive..
centos doesn't show all the folders/files on the drive. I'm only seeing the vm/image files...
any pointers to be able to see the rest of the drive??
All I do is click on the "computer" desktop icon and it apparently mounts the drive as required.
thanks

Does it have more than one drive partition, and you've only mounted one?
Are you the same user on the new and old systems? Not the same username, names are actually ignored. You need the same numerical user ID.
Hi.
The drive in question has multiple partitions, but I was only trying to access the drive as a "raw/data" drive if that was/is possible.
the sys monitor app lists the file systems for the drive as being: /dev/mapper/vg_dell45-lv_root / /dev/mapper/vg_dell45-lv_apps /apps /dev/mapper/vg_dell45-lv_backup /backup /dev/mapper/vg_dell45-lv_boot /boot /dev/mapper/vg_dell45-lv_home /home
so i assume in order to "see" the drive in the usb bay on the new system, i'd mount the drive/partitions using the dir or devicename which would then get the actual partition/drive contents.
is this close?

I think you've probably got your answer, by now. But for the sake of putting an answer with this thread, mounting LVM partitions requires using the tools for LVM (type lv and hit tab in the command line, then look up instructions for the various lv* commands it finds).
This works somewhat differently than mounting ordinary partitions and drives. I'm not aware of a desktop that will let you simply plug in and double-click on an icon to mount a logical volume, like you can with ordinary volumes (flash drives, USB hard drives, etc).

Gnome Shell does this by default. It will show an LV icon in Files, and if you click it, it will be mounted at /run/media/<username>/<volumeuuid> and appear in gnome-shell.
