How do I mount an lvm2pv partition?
Here is the situation. I have two hard drives both with a fedora 9 installed. The main hard drive which the system runs off of is install in the system (primary). The other is an external drive in a USB kit (I have used the kit before so I know that is not a problem)...(secondary).
What I am trying to do is copy all WHOLE system from the primary to the secondary every sunday with a cron job. The problem I am having is mounting the lvm2pv FS. I see the external (/dev/sdb1 & /dev/sdb2). I can mount the /dev/sdb1 no problem but that is just the boot partition. The main partition (/dev/sdb2) won't mount....says:
unkown filesystem type "lvm2pv"
Any ideas? Also, will my plan work? Will I be able to copy ALL the files (/*) from the primary to the secondary and be able to plug the secondary in with it working perfectly?
