Unfortunately, the F8 system is probably also LVM, and by default it
also is named VolGroup00/LogVol00. When you boot the system, immediately
after booting starts, check whether it prints a message about LVM
finding VolGroup00 twice. If so, then both disks are using the same LVM
names, and that mount command will not work.
I am unaware of a method that will allow you to mount two LVM
filesystems with the same names. As far as I know, you would have to
rename one of them. I really don't understand why the installation
doesn't make the two numbers random (so you would get, say, VolGroup75)
rather than always "00". That would eliminate this particular problem.
