Vgscan does not find volume group (LVM disk combining)

it’s alright fam multitask away you seem productively busy.

You ask smart questions.
Yes, it would be saved because the changes you would be making would be applicable to your current drive and installation, not to the Media you booted from.

This would be done with a series of terminal commands which I do not remember tham all off the top of my head in spite of doing it several times- I would need to look for a step by step guide.

To answer your “how” question, when youa re booted into the installation Demo media, that would be on your Optical drive or your USB- Let’s say USB, so that would be sbd1
Your primary drive is usually sda1
See?
So in terminal, you could mount or unmount your primary while booted into the USB drive with

sudo mount /dev/sda1

and

sudo umount /dev/sda1

Yes, I seem to be having a moment here where it pours; I am also doing the shop and and it seems I cannot finish answering one question before another person comes up with a new one. Bouncing between answering the proper gear ratio for the speed gear for a Dana 7:62 and vgscan is a bit mind bendy.

ahhh… almost forgot:

what’s a Dana? lol

Dana Differential, in this case on a 1967 Dodge truck.

I am a classic car restoration mechanic. I play with Linux for fun, but it is not what I do for a living.

EDIT: Though your guess ain’t too bad, either.

it’s the first thing that pops out in google :joy:.

in my case I got /dev/nvme0n1 for primary. should I unmount just /dev/nveme0n1p6–not the whole entirety of the primary drive right?

what requires a series of terminal commands of which you do not remember?–so it’s not just plug usb and go unmount?

I’m multitasking with a snowblower right now, of which I am disappointed by both in terms of performance and the fact that the guy sold me a quasi-lemon.

Creating volumes on an unmounted drive. Yes, you can mount the Partition rather than entirety.

other than unmounting, can I create the physical volume for partition /dev/nveme0n1p6 while in usb mode too? or do I have to unmount -> reboot to normal-> create pv -> go back to usb to mount it again?

Yes, that is how to properly do it. From the USB bootable media, with your physical drive / parition unmounted. Then boot into your normal primary drive and check that the created volume is present

those trucks look baller man! can they build new trucks that low or do they have regulations now? what model?

just to be clear: you mean unmount and create physical volume both in USB mode?

I do not slam, but others do- there are no regs against it where I live. I find it funny when one tries to navigate a speed bump.
This is a late model d-series- the owner wants Original Restoration with as minimal modification as possible. We have made one exception where I am using an arduino to provide an under the bench system for his own purposes. The original radio looks greqat in the dash… but he wants full control over playing Doowop and cannot rely on the Radio Stations for that.

Exactly, yes. Just as the links I posted should also say- though I have not really read them through fully, so please double check.

wow doo-wo.p (it’s not letting me type wo.p the heck?! lol) is my new music of interest. thanks and will check out the link some of it seems useful!

Yes, I have been listening to all the music made before I was ever born for many years. Most of my tools all date from the 1930’s and 1940’s.
The word filter on the site is a bit overzealous. It got me on that word (It is also a disparaging term for immigrants) and it also censored my A-eolus icon theme name, as well. Which blew my mind.

didn’t know italians could be discriminated against for being ‘‘too stylish’’ xD!

‘‘In greek mythology, Aeoolus was the keeper of the winds and king of the island of Aeolia, one of the abrupt rocky Lipara islands close to Sicily Later classical writers regarded him as a god.’’

‘‘blew your mind’’ ahaha.

I sense an Italian theme but I still don’t get the internal joke and mystery. ‘’

‘‘aeoolus
The answer to the universe; created the number 8 and brought life to the internets. Better known as the god of wind, but no one gives a ■■■■ about that.
(https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=internets).
5 thumbs up, 10 thumbs down.’’

The themes are not italian, in fact the origin of the name on the sister themes actually comes from the Burlington routes Zephyr and A-elous lines. Without the dash.
You could use the icons if you wanted to, but the themes themselves are for Mate, Cinnamon or XFCE. I do not create Gnome themes any longer.
