I used the following to figure it out. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ You'll probably need to do /sbin/vgscan to figure out the lvm name then run /sbin/vgchange -a y; mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/whatever can't remember how I arrived at VolGroup00/LogVol00 but think there is an explanation in the how-to to automount I do in fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/whatever ext3 defaults 1 2 [note: I had run the vgchange prior to that once though, changed fstab and it comes up automounted now without doing vgchange. Hope that is what you were asking. Shawn
