Hi i could't completly understand you is that true: you have instaled Redhat on a working sepatarate drive and you hace added a drive from a crashed system if this is the case i hope you can run vgscan -that will tell you the name of the volume group vgchange -ay volume group name --that activates the volume if you know the name of the logical volume you should be able to mount it or if you don't know the name of the logical volume you can find it out from proc cat /proc/lvm/global you should see all VG'S PV's and LV's so mount /dev/ "volume group" / "Logical Volume" / " where you want it" should work could you give a bit more information like fstab of the instaled RedHat Alexander Bruns wrote: >Hi, > >I hot a HardDrive from a crashed System.
