@newssvr25.news.prodigy.net:
Hard time following what you've done. All I see is one 200GB HDyou
/dev/hdb1 as a FC5 LVM Are you mount /dev/hda as you old drive are
adding /dev/hdb to the LVM volume group? Have you reviewed thecommand
set for LVM and FAQs at FC5 or LVM web sites?
I want to mount /dev/hdb2, that is where the LVM is located, containing
my original FC3 installation. That is what I am unable to do. /dev/hda is
the current FC5 installation, is active, and is visible.
Well, I am learning about LVMs now. That was the default Fedora install,
I don't remember being asked if I wanted LVM or not. I just installed FC5
and took the default install and ended up with an LVM again. I think that
a serious problem is that both LVM volumes have the same name. I really
don't understand this stuff enough to get the volume mounted though.
Could post lvdisplay, pvdisplay, fdisk -l /dev/hda and /dev/hdb ?
Sure. It is a bit difficult now as the new setup is not complete. I don't
have the domains setup, ssh is not setup, samba is not working yet, etc.,
so I think I can run those commands and catch the output, email that to
myself, then post them for you here. AT least I got my desktop terminals
back. FC5 does not even offer term windows in x anymore by default and I
went back to booting to run level 3 instead of run level 5 and starting x
with startx.

This is freaking me out man. I really need to get the servers up and
running and all the rest of the stuff that is on the old FC3 disk drive.
All the configs are there and the old system will boot and run again if I
pull the IDE cable from the new drive and plug it back to the old drive
as first in line (Cable select method.). There has got to be some way to
mount that old system, I was googling and reading and someone else had
this problem and they figured that they could not mount the partition
because the volume group had the same name as the current volume group.
That is the situation that I have because I went with the default Fedora
install.
In x, there is an admin tool for Logical Volume Managment. It is
graphical and it shows my current volume groups as well as "Uninitialized
Entries". /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hdb2 are shown. The only thing that the
application will do for me is to "Initialize the Entry". If I try to do
that, I get a warning that "All data on disk entry /dev/hdb2 will be
lost, continue?" Hell no!
Please help me with this.
