Can I mount it? /dev/vg1/mirror1 is the device you mount, the _mimage_ are internal devices for LVM. You have the "original" (mimage_0) and the mirror (mimage_1). The later revisions of LVM will hide these from the lvscan & lvs commands. -- patrick _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
