That solves the mystrey concerning hda16. But why can't I mount the LVM partitions from the rescue environment when they get mounted during a normal boot. I had a look at the boot script and it does the same thing as I'm doing manually from rescue. Even if an upgrade will solve that problem too I am a bit curious about what causes vgscan to fail in the rescue environment. > > - Anders > > > > > Hello > > > > > > I am trying to mount my LVM partitions manually after booting into a > > > rescue system from floppies.
