Mount LVM partition on Ubuntu

date: February 7, 2015 | reading_time: 1 min read

I had two distributions — Fedora 20 and one Ubuntu-based distro called Deepin Linux. The partitions in Fedora were in LVM format and couldn’t be accessed in Deepin or any Ubuntu-based distros.

Here is how you mount the partition:

sudo apt-get install lvm2
sudo modprobe dm-mod
sudo vgchange -a y

sudo apt-get install lvm2
sudo modprobe dm-mod
sudo vgchange -a y

Then find your volume:

sudo lvdisplay

sudo lvdisplay

Mount it:

sudo mkdir /mnt/fedora
sudo mount /dev/volume-group/logical-volume /mnt/fedora

sudo mkdir /mnt/fedora
sudo mount /dev/volume-group/logical-volume /mnt/fedora
