See "man lvm"

This lists the related tools, in particular

lvscan (scan for logical volumes)
lvdisplay - which will tell you about volumes

and especially
vgscan


I tried ur suggestion .. but it seems like its only scanning the local
drives - ignoring the HDD thats connected through USB ... but i'll
keep trying ... thanx :)

btw ... the lvm group in my local hdd have the same name than the one
in USB ... will this causes conflicts that might able to cause
dataloss??

which I suspect is what you need in order to make the volumes appear
