I am testing/playing with cloning SCSI linux systems on SLES9 SP2.

I was successful cloning a 1 LUN system that had ext3. I am now
trying to
clone a 2 LUN system where I have ext3 (/boot) on 1 lun and LVM (/)
on the
other .
The mount command (as shown in the Redbook) for the LVM LUN fails
saying I
need to specify a filesystem type.

The Man pages for mount does not show LVM as a recognized type.

Is this not possible?

LVM is a layer below the filesystem type.

The filesystem will be ext3 or whatever, but the "device" it's
mounted on will be an LVM pseudo-device that's really an aggregation
of physical devices.
