Volume group activation/mounting filesystems

[frederick hannah]

Can a mountpoint of a logical volume be mounted if the volume group isnt active? This is an 11.11 environment

You mean can you mount a filesystem that is on a LV in an VG which isn't activated?

No you can't.

Hi Frederick:

No. Attempting to mount will result in an error:

# mount /dev/vg03/lvol1 /something
/dev/vg03/lvol1: No such device or address

Regards!

Thanks. I figured as much but I needed confirmation!
