OK.  Removed the lvm1 tools and installed the lvm2 ones.  However, I
still don't seem to be able to access the logical volumes:

bennet:~# pvscan
  PV /dev/hdb4   VG data   lvm1 [228.70 GB / 123.82 GB free]
  Total: 1 [228.70 GB] / in use: 1 [228.70 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]
bennet:~# vgscan
  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
  Found volume group "data" using metadata type lvm1
bennet:~# lvscan
  inactive          '/dev/data/vmware' [4.88 GB] normal
  inactive          '/dev/data/cdwork' [100.00 GB] normal
bennet:~# mount -a
mount: /dev/data/cdwork is not a valid block device
mount: /dev/data/vmware is not a valid block device
bennet:~#

The dm_mod module is loaded.  Is there something else I need to make
them accessible?

TIA,
John
