Hello all !
If you have the time, here is my problem for which I was not able to find a solution on the
internet. I have installed the following operating systems on my machine (noted M1) :
windows (version xp professional), openfiler (version 2.3), debian (version 5.0.6), ubuntu
server (version 8.04.4) and freenas (version 0.7.2.5543 on a usb stick). I have also a large
hard disk drive of 1 Tb on which I created a LVM under openfiler. Then, from another
machine of the network with windows xp, I formatted this LVM in NTFS. I can access it from
the latter machine, but this is not what I want to do. I would like to be able to access it from
M1. Unfortunately, on M1, when choosing windows at the boot menu, and going to disk
management, I can see the drive but I was not able to access and mount it. I tried Explore
NFS and Explorer2FS, but nothing happens. Is there a way to achieve what I want ? If so,
would you agree to share it with me ?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Best regards.

If I format a FAT file system on top of a logic volume created by using
LVM, will this be accessible from Windows? In other words, does Windows
understand LVM?

Are you talking about accessing it via Samba? Samba can share
filesystems of any format (that I know of), and Windows can connect to
Samba shares.
Does that answer your question?

I'm not talking about Samba. If I create a FAT file system on top of
logic volume on a piece of Compact Flash in a Linux box, can I pull out
the Compact Flash and insert it into a Windows box and use it? I know
this should work if the FAT file system is created on a hard partition
instead of a logic volume?

Short answer: no
Long answer: While Windows does not directly understand Linux LVM, there are
ways to hide LVM from Windows via another software layer, for e.g. a
virtual machine or a driver. So depending on what exactly you mean by "Windows
box", you could be able to read the LV. But a bare metal unmodified install of
Windows can not read the LV.

Short answer: No
Long answer: Windows doesn't understand Linux LVM. However, it doesn't
need to if:
a) You are running Windows in a virtual machine with the LV as a virtual disk.
(i.e. VMWare)
b) You are accessing files in the LV via a network file system such as CIFS.
(i.e. samba)
