Hi all, I had a ubuntu media server with 1 10TB drive set up with an lvm. I set up a new unraid server and I want to transfer the files from the 10TB drive to unraid. I have UD and UD+ and have added my drive to the system. It shows up in unassigned drives, but with only a format option. After a lot of reading forum posts I figured I needed to mount the drive via command line. This is where I am struggling.
Every time I run the mount command I get:
root@acidbox:~# sudo mount /dev/media/lvl /mnt/remotes/lvm_drive
mount: /mnt/remotes/lvm_drive: special device /dev/media/lvl does not exist.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
this is the output of lvdisplay
root@acidbox:~# lvdisplay

this is the output of syslog

Please let me know what I am doing wrong and what I can do to transfer my data
edit: after finding this askubuntu post from 6 years ago.. i mounted the lv with /dev/dm-0 instead of /dev/media/lvl and it worked! Currently transferring 3TB of files! yay!
