Accessing /dev/hdb and the LVM partition

[matt_thumper]

My secondary disk drive is only 80GB but it's 80GB that I might as well use. How do I access it?

My fdisk shows:

Disk /dev/hdb: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 14 9726 78019672+ 8e Linux LVM

and lvdisplay shows:
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
VG Name VolGroup00

--- Logical volume ---

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 is apparently my newer big (400GB) drive which holds my filesystem ( / and on down ) including /home because I mounted it and traversed down the directorys.

I would like to do the same for this older, small harddisk but don't know what to do with vgscan --mknodes, vgchange -ay or lvscan.

(BTW, hdb1 is where my main system boots from so I don't want to mess with that partition. Don't ask....it's ugly)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Initialize volumes of hdb2 using vgachange -ay and mount those using mount command.

Thanks.
My install has no vgachange command. I did a 'find' for it as root from / and got no results.
Any idea what's up?

Which version of RedHat/Fedora are you using?

Which version of RedHat/Fedora are you using?

DC,

Somewhere I jotted down in my notes: Red Hat 5.1.19.6

I just bought and installed it in January.
What command can I run (or where can I look) to find out the version?
I looked all over the GUI/Desktop but could only find Gnome stuff.

Thanks again,
Matt
