Mount LVM from liveCD

January 21, 2011 by Igor Drobot 2 Comments

Yeah after installation of Windows seven – my Grub-Bootloader was removed and I get only the Windows bootmager.

This article describe hot to mount root “/” which was created on LVM from a live CD and install GRUB Boot-Loader.

Step 1: Get a live CD in my case it was Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop edition.

Step 2: Boot from live CD and get your network to work, you will need it to install some packages.
Step 3: Install LVM to mound root

1
apt-get install lvm2

apt-get install lvm2

Step 4:
Run pvscan to scan all disks for physical volume:

1
pvscan

pvscan

Step 5:
Run vgscan to scan disks for volume groups:

1
vgscan

vgscan

Step 6: Activate volume groups:

1
vgchange -a y

vgchange -a y

Step 7: Run lvscan to scan all disks for logical volume.

Step 8: Mount your root or another devices:

1
mount /dev/VolGroup0/root /mnt/

mount /dev/VolGroup0/root /mnt/

For GRUB installation refer to this article

    Thank you grundic! This was never mentioned from any “How-To” Autor and let me run into errors. :)

    Before activating volume groups, you would have to load kernel module:
    # modprobe dm-mod
