If you want to use LVM2 in Knoppix you have to load and install the kernel module and some programs. To activate it just type as root
# modprobe dm-mod # apt-get update # apt-get install lvm-common lvm2
Remember that the tools are in /lib/lvm-200 but if you don't want to type the complete path, you may link them into /usr/bin.
# lndir /lib/lvm-200/ /usr/sbin/
To use existing volume groups you have to activate them.
# vgscan # vgchange -a y
To mount it, find the VG name, then find that name in /dev/
# vgdisplay | head --- Volume group --- VG Name music2_vg
# ls /dev/music2_vg/* /dev/music2_vg/lvol1
# mount /dev/music2_vg/lvol1 /mnt/tmp # ls /mnt/tmp lost+found mp3
