[linux-lvm] recovering data from an lvm partition

[linux-lvm] recovering data from an lvm partition

[ray somcio]

Hello,

I have a laptop harddrive which had FC3 installed, default filesystem
setup using lvm.   Something happened to the drive where it doesn't
boot anymore.  So I tried connecting it to another system running
fedora 3.  is there a way to grab data off the laptop harddrive?

Something like;

   vgscan -a
   vgchange -ay

should make the VG active.  Then you can mount the partitions on it
(or just dd them off :) )
