Public bug reported:

Set up 2 physical hard drives under LVM management.  Neither of them had
Linux on them, they were just ext3 backup drives.  Since I lost my main
drive that had Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64, which was not LVM managed.  Did the
following:

1.  Reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 on main drive (installed LVM2 and rebooted)
2.  Attempting to get back one of the LVM backup drives
      - pvcreate /dev/hda1
                    Physical volume "/dev/sda1" successfully created
      - vgcreate SecondaryGroup /dev/sda1
                    Volume group "SecondaryGroup" successfully created      
      -  lvcreate -L 90G SecondaryGroup
                   Logical volume "lvol0" created
      
      Here's the problem:
           mount /dev/SecondaryGroup/lvol0 /mnt/backup
                     mount: you must specify the filesystem type
            These LVM drives were originally formated as EXT3 (with the x8e on 
in the partitions)
       mount -t ext3 /dev/SecondaryGroup/lvol0 /mnt/backup
             mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 
/dev/mapper/SecondaryGroup-l


What I want to do is remount these LVM drives but not lose the data on
them.  All instructions I find has a mkfs in them, which will destroy
the data.

How do I simply remount LVM drives at this point?
