This tutorial will show you how you can mount logical volume on a server with Fedora operating systems.

If it is already mounted you will see it as VolGroup00-LogVol00 like, or similar in the listing bellow.

$ df
Filesystem                     1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 78085080  14735720  59382796  20% /
/dev/hda1                         101086     12351     83516  13% /boot
none                              225248         0    225248   0% /dev/shm
Often when a server needs maintenance the logical volumes are not automatically recognized by the kernel.

First you will need to load the device module:

#modprobe dm-mod

then activate the existing logical volumes with this command:

#vgchange -ay

What left to be done is to create a folder, where the logical volume will be mounted, and the 'mount' command to executed .

#mkdir /mnt/LV
#mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/LV

Then you will be able to see the mounted volume under '/mnt/LV'
