No matter what I try, I can't seem to mount my Fedora partitions inside Arch. Namely what I want to do is access my /home directory from Fedora.
I've been following this guide: (http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Mounti … olume.html) and everything works up until actually mounting the file system:
[chance@myhost ~]$ sudo pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda5 vg_sugoilife lvm2 a- 380.69g 0
[chance@myhost ~]$ sudo lvdisplay /dev/vg_sugoilife
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
--- Logical volume ---

[chance@myhost ~]$ sudo mount /dev/vg_sugoilife/lv_home /media/fedora
mount: special device /dev/vg_sugoilife/lv_home does not exist
As you can see, it's listing all the logical volumes that Fedora is using, yet when I try to mount lv_home it reads that it does not exist. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong I'd really appreciate the help.

try sudo modprobe dm-mod

Thank you very much, after properly doing vgchange I've gotten it to work. I tried it before but for some reason it didn't work and I just forgot about it after that.
