Problem mountin a partition
Ok, here's the story
. I use a dual boot system running Suse 10.2 64bit and Ubuntu 7.04 32bit.
Both systems were working fine until I tried to configure my MX500 mouse to work properly in Ubuntu (I had it working in Suse before). When I edited my xorg.conf file something must have gone wrong.. ubuntu didn't boot anymore :blink: . I booted Suse and tried mounting the partition where Ubuntu is installed so I could fix my mistake... I seriously messed up something because the next time I tried to boot Grub gave me an error 17. Couldn't get grub to boot from the partition it used to boot from but managed to get it to boot from the Suse partition. I am at lost.. I have lott's of stuff I really need on the Ubuntu partition (dev/hda3).. like logos and web pages...
Suse is working fine.
My question is how can I access the data on hda3 ? (I don't need to save the ubuntu installation, but I really need the data on the disk)
Here's a screen shot from my partition table:

I tried the command "mount /dev/hda3 /media/ubuntu"
which gives me a result:
linux:/home/samuli # mount /dev/hda3 /media/ubuntu
mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
linux:/home/samuli #
Not very experienced whit Linux.. but I trust there is some way to make this work. Can anyone help me whit this problem?

run "lvdisplay" to see a list of your logical partitions. each one will have a device name in the form /dev/volume-group/volume-name. Use that to mount the logical volume
mount /dev/vg0/vol1 /mnt/folder.
Hope this helps.Linux is not only an operating system, it's a philosophy.
Archost.

thanks for your reply

I couldn't get "lvdisplay" to display any info about my drives... "lvdisplay -h" shows the help (just that u know that the command actually works).. I tried "lvdisplay -a" and "lvdisplay /dev/system", both display nothing eather. "lvdisplay /dev/hda3" says: "Volume group "hda3" not found"
all the command where run as su
