As usual with UNIX/Linux, there's more than one way to see what your mounted filesystems are. Two common examples (these from an i386 system): $ mount /dev/root on / type ext3 (rw) none on /dev type devfs (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/hda2 on /usr type ext3 (rw) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/vg0/newhome on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/hdc1 on /mnt/hdc1 type ext3 (rw) /mnt/hdc1/ISOs on /home/samba/ISOs type none (rw,bind) none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) $ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 1921156 1305408 518156 72% / /dev/hda2 9614148 3002532 6123240 33% /usr none 516288 0 516288 0% /dev/shm /dev/vg0/newhome 41284928 26131060 13056716 67% /home /dev/hdc1 76922968 48704152 24311284 67% /mnt/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1/ISOs 76922968 48704152 24311284 67% /home/samba/ISOs mount just tells you what's mounted where, df gives you utilisation data as well. You can see in these examples that my /home is on an LV, so you should see something very similar on your system if /home is mounted correctly. If it's not, the problem might be that /etc/fstab was not updated after the LV was created and formatted. You'll need to fix that, but not before moving the existing /home into the LV (without overwriting what may already be on the LV, if it was at some stage successfully mounted). Mark has some hints on moving filesystems on linuxvm.org that might be useful to you for this.
