[linux-lvm] LVM groups not visible

[Jonathan E Brassow]

I can't imagine putting LVM on a USB drive...  Are you sure LVM is even 
involved here?

You can type 'mount' or 'df' at the command prompt.  That will tell you 
how the usbdisk is mounted.  If it is mounted from /dev/sda1 - then 
there is no LVM in the mix.
