Try running "file -s /dev/vg1/win1". If it says something like this: /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 1, startsector 63, 208782 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x8e, starthead 0, startsector 208845, 195157620 sectors, code offset 0x48 Then there's a partition table on the device and the VFAT file system is in a partition on it. You can map those partitions using kpartx. Run: kpartx -a /dev/vg1/win1 And you should see some new entries in /dev/mapper like win1p1 win1p2 etc. You can remove them with: kpartx -d /dev/vg1/win1 Regards, Bryn. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGM1Sg6YSQoMYUY94RAlCnAKCv70L+TzHdHQJrV/kydbMr2hJ8OACg1uQI WPbSmrbKqOA8jABNsB5LvU0= =8r7K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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/
