If you are trying to diagnose the LVM partition, there is a visual tool
for setting up LVM partitions and it will also show visually what the
partitions are made up as.
Go to System/Administration/Logical Volume Management on the GNOME menus
and try to launch the program.
The first partition is regular partition and should be mountable with
making a directory for the volume and mounting it with
mount /dev/hde1 /mnt/MyCreatedDirectory
whatever that would be.
Thanks, Jim. hde1 mounts correctly. The visual LVM tool indicates no
filesystem in hde2.
If you want to be sure that nothing exists on the volumes in the LVM,
send a new posting with the title related to activating LVM and finding
out how to mount these partitions. I believe that pvscan will show you
the physical volumes contained in the Logical volume. lvscan should show
you the Logical volumes.
I avoid LVMs mostly so I know little about managing the LVMs.
