Re: Cannot mount old drive with LVM partition - help!

Look all the way at the bottom. The dude is saying that because both of the logical volume groups have the same name, it would be impossible to mount them both. When I try his suggestion:

vgscan
vgchange --available y

It does not help, it only shows the current LVM groups as they are.

Of course it don't, as they have the same name and in worst case you could rename both of the at the same time too.


I am at a loss as to what to do. I really wish that I did not install Fedora as an LVM now because of all this trouble.

You need to have only one of them connected to the machine (FC5 in your case) and from rescue mode (type rescue on the boot prompt when you boot from the CD1 or DVD) do the renaming.
