If you want to be sure that nothing exists on the volumes in the LVM,
send a new posting with the title related to activating LVM and finding
out how to mount these partitions. I believe that pvscan will show you
the physical volumes contained in the Logical volume. lvscan should show
you the Logical volumes.
I avoid LVMs mostly so I know little about managing the LVMs.
Thanks, Jim. I am now sure that there is nothing in hde2.
