With Ubuntu, you'll probably first need to install lvm. Once you've done that run
# vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "gen" using metadata type lvm2 Found volume group "os" using metadata type lvm2 I have two. If I want to then activate that device then I run: # vgchange -a y gen Afterwhich I'll have a device like so # lvdisplay gen --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/gen/share VG Name gen LV UUID .. snip .. Block device 253:2 Note the LV Name line, that corresponds to what can be considered your device. Mount it as normal mount /dev/gen/share /mnt And you are up and running.

It sounds like Fedora used LVM (Logical Volume Management) for its root partition. If so, you will have to mount the LVM volumes rather than the physical partitions. See if "lvscan" returns a list. If so, mount those volumes up instead and you should have your data. Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/vg0/home' [30.00 GB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/vg0/swap0' [1.50 GB] inherit Corey /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
