[clue-tech] mount second hard drive

[Bob Meetin]

'likes' is sooooo overused.  'tolerate' comes to mind unless of course 
you're talking beer, i.e. imported generic BEER in a white can with 12 
oz in size 48 font.

I reran the commands and recleansed the output.  When I used 'script' 
yesterday it dumped a load of control characters into the output which 
although I mostly cleaned it up it clouded the output.

*Without the external disk mounted:*

root at syncsync:~# vgscan --mknodes
 Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
 No volume groups found
 No volume groups found

*Here I connected the external disk via USB:*

root at syncsync:~# vgscan --mknodes
 Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
 Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2

root at syncsync:~# vgscan
 Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...

root at syncsync:~# lsmod | grep dm_mod
