Mounting logical volumes
To mount logical volumes when booting from live CD or if not mounted in rescue mode use:
- Find out logical volumes available using
- lvm vgscan or
- lvm vgdisplay or
- lvm vgs
- Activate the Logical volumes inside Volumegroups using
- lvm vgchange -a y <VolGroupname>
- This creates devices in '/dev/<VolGroupname>/' using which we can mount the logical volumes.
After work is over, umount the logical volumes and use 'lvm vgchange -a n <VolGroupname> to deactivate the volume group.
Note:
This can also be done using direct commands 'vgscan' and 'vgchange', without using 'lvm' prefix.
