Ubuntu, Inaccessible LVM drive root?

Ubuntu, Inaccessible LVM drive root?

Issue: In the process of data recovery or migration, an LVM formatted ubuntu system drive is added (usbSATA cable) to another similarly LVM built system. It's not possible to access the root partition of the added drive.

Solution: use lvdisplay to find the UUID of the inaccesible partition, then use 'vgrename ' to change the volume name of that to something other than 'ubuntu'

Reason: The volume name is clashing with the running OS!
