Opensuse 10.3 boot LVM from rescue disk

English Install/Boot/Login

Before I do a fresh install of opensuse 11.2, I am trying to mount my lvm partitions in rescue mode so I can do a full backup. How do I mount them?

First check if there are device special files created in /dev for the devices. Like /dev/mapper/… or /dev/<VGname>/<LVname>

Did you try :

$ pvs

$ lvdisplay /dev/VolGroup01 #<= your volume group

$ mount /dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 /tmp/mnt #<= your logical volume and
mount point

Dear Chill Out

Sorry for the delay.

For the benefit of others:

$ pvs

$ lvdisplay /dev/VolGroup01 #<= your volume group

$ mount /dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 /tmp/mnt #<= your logical volume and
mount point

worked and I was able to use rsync to backup my files.

Thanks for posting.
