Alright, so I connected my old linux SSD to my new machine via a USB adapter and only a small partition shows up, not my home files. -

umount /mnt/yourmountpoint
lvchange -an <lvpath>

Alright, so I connected my old linux SSD to my new machine via a USB adapter and only a small partition shows up, not my home files.@[email protected] you have to first use
vgscan
to find the name of the volume group and then it should be something likevgchange -ay VolumeGroupName
to activate it. And then you can lookup the logical volume withlvs
, create a mount point somewhere (just a directory) and THEN mount itmount /dev/VolumeGroupName/LogicalVolumeName /mnt/yourmountpoint
All with sudo, all without breaking your system 🥲
