Hi,

you can create the LV's with the "-p" option
(permission)

For example

lvcreate -p r (read only) ...

Im not sure I understand your question... was this disk taken from another system where it was used by LVM, and now you've attached it to another system and want to access the data from the disk... is this what you're asking?

If so... import the vg, then mount the filesystems...

# mkdir /dev/vgtmp
# mknod /dev/vgtmp/group c 64 0x0?0000
(where 0x0?0000 is unused #... look at ll /dev/*/group)
# vgimport -v /dev/vgtmp /dev/dsk/cXtXdX
(where cXtXdX is the dev of your added disk)

If all goes well w/ the import, activate the VG and mount the filesystems...

# vgchange -a y /dev/vgtmp
# vgdisplay /dev/vgtmp

# fstyp /dev/vgtmp/rlvol?
# mount -F /dev/vgtmp/lvol? /tmp_mnt


Hope this helps,

Thanks both for the reply,,

Denver,
Yes the HD is taken from another LVM system and it is a bootable HD,but I couldn't boot from it ,so I thought of moving it to a live system.
