[SOLVED]Mount Fedora/LVM Partition in Arch

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 ---
  LV Name                /dev/vg_sugoilife/lv_root
  VG Name                vg_sugoilife
  LV UUID                yrQyGJ-gezY-CTw9-Ub73-eUHo-dEKY-ivxt1H
  LV Write Access        read/write
  LV Status              NOT available
  LV Size                50.00 GiB
  Current LE             1600
  Segments               1
  Allocation             inherit
  Read ahead sectors     auto
   
  --- Logical volume ---
  LV Name                /dev/vg_sugoilife/lv_home
  VG Name                vg_sugoilife
  LV UUID                LP9uTC-cEh9-yoeR-ePQc-VZyI-S594-NeyapD
  LV Write Access        read/write
  LV Status              NOT available
  LV Size                324.81 GiB
  Current LE             10394
  Segments               1
  Allocation             inherit
  Read ahead sectors     auto
   
  --- Logical volume ---
  LV Name                /dev/vg_sugoilife/lv_swap
  VG Name                vg_sugoilife
  LV UUID                DZnKlh-ReOf-uVr3-WD9k-i5rW-eu98-Ls8ReL
  LV Write Access        read/write
  LV Status              NOT available
  LV Size                5.88 GiB
  Current LE             188
  Segments               1
  Allocation             inherit
  Read ahead sectors     auto

[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.
