Now your logical volumes should show up and they can be mounted wherever. When you're done unmount the volumes then run the lvchange command but changing the "y" to a "n" to deactivate the volumes. That ensures all data is flushed to disk. Normally your distro does this automatically (or it at least syncs, which is probably about as good). lvs in general has useful output. The a attribute means that it is active (and shows up in /dev). The o attribute means that it is in use.
