LVM2 Partitions / linux problem

[stefan-te]

Is there any way to access LVM2 Partitions under linux and to take out the files. I have tried fdisk, Gparted, PartitionMagic, Utilities under windows.. nothing works..

Server is on Centos 5.8

Thanks !

You have to connect the HDD to another system to view the file system as those partitions are hidden to the system OS.

Most of the time rescue mode would help in this situation

Thanks for reply, but i forgot to mention that we can't open the server, since there is warranty sticker. :/

heres another option, but its recommended not to do this but being temporarily should not cause a issue. Just unmount when your done.
