A while back, I started experimenting with Ubuntu after playing with Fedora. I decided to jump to Ubuntu and needed to move data from the Fedora-managed logical volume to Ubuntu. Here's what I did.

Boot Ubuntu.

Install lvm2:
$ sudo apt-get install lvm2

Load the necessary module(s):
$ sudo modprobe dm-mod

Scan your system for LVM volumes and identify in the output the volume group name that has your Fedora volume (mine proved to be VolGroup00):
$ sudo vgscan

Activate the volume:
$ sudo vgchange -ay VolGroup00

Find the logical volume that has your Fedora root filesystem (mine proved
to be LogVol00):
$ sudo lvs

Create a mount point for that volume:
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/fcroot

Mount it:
$ sudo mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/fcroot -o ro,user

Copied my files.
