by bram
Install lvm2:
$ sudo apt-get install lvm2
Load the necessary module(s):
$ sudo modprobe dm-mod
Scan your system for LVM volumes:
$ sudo vgscan
Activate the volume:
$ sudo vgchange -ay VolGroup00
Find the logical volume that has your external root file system:
$ sudo lvs
Create a mount point for that volume:
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/fcroot
Mount it:
$ sudo mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/fcroot -o ro,user
