You should have the drive visible to you within nautilus if this is the 
case. Fedora will automatically find your LVM and activate it. Clicking 
on the drive will prompt for the root password and nautilus will mount 
the drive.

If you don't see the drive in nautilus you can use the palimpset utility 
to activate it and mount. The command line alternative is to use 
lvchange to activate the LVM (make the kernel map /dev nodes) and mount 
the /dev node (something like /dev/mapper/lv_name).
