Re: LiveCD System recovery - Mounting LVM?

volume that I am trying to mount has the same name as the volume on the
machine that is active.


I was wondering if you were running into that problem. I've run into it in
the past. Centos always uses the same logical group and logical volume names
as default for a new install, and you can't mount a foreign LVM if the names
conflict.

I once set up a test system to try to recover some files from an LVM, and
installed centos with no LVM to avoid the conflict, but centos didn't
install the lvm tools automatically . (I like using system-config-lvm)
However, the tools are easy enough to install with yum. Some live CDs let
you install system-config-lvm too.

You can also use unique LVM group and vol names when installing centos to
avoid this...
