[ale] Problems with mount...

[Benjie]

Is the hard drive from a RedHat or a Fedora system?  If so, you will
have to reconfigure the lvm settings to access it on another system.
If it was setup with the default Fedora/RedHat settings, do not
attempt to add it to the lvm group on the system that it was added to,
or you run the risk of destroying the data on it.  If at all possible,
put it back in the system that it was removed from, and edit the lvm
settings for the drive there.  You can create a new lvm group for the
drive to belong to, and then add that setup to the new host machine.
I don't know of an easier method,  but if there is, I'm sure someone
on this list will tell us both. :-)
