Editing LVM operations (section)

==mount LVM from external disk ==

 Make sure lvm2 is installed:
 
 $ sudo yum install lvm2
 Load the necessary module(s) as root:
 
 $ sudo modprobe dm-mod
 Scan your system for LVM volumes and identify in the output the volume group name that has your Fedora volume (mine proved to be VolGroup00):
 
 $ sudo vgscan
 Activate the volume:
 
 $ sudo vgchange -ay VolGroup00
 Find the logical volume that has your Fedora root filesystem (mine proved to be LogVol00):
 
 $ sudo lvs
 Create a mount point for that volume:
 
 $ sudo mkdir /mnt/fcroot
 Mount it:
 
 $ sudo mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/fcroot -o ro,user
 You're done, navigate to /mnt/fcroot and copy the files and paste somewhere else.
 
 Note: In case of bad sectors on the disk, one can prevent journaling with the option noload.
