Paul:
In /dev you will see a directory named VolGroup00
(if FC4 is also lvm, you might have Volgroup01 too!). Inside that is a
file: LogVol00 (not sure but you might have more files if FC5 has
separate partitions for /, /var,/home etc.)
Make a mount point for FC5: mkdir /media/fc
then: mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /media/fc
I think the command will need to look something like this:
mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 /mountpoint
That's the way it is for me mounting an FC4 logical volume in FC5 anyway.
