I would like to be able to temporarily move a disk from one Linux system to another. The disk has a complete LVM2 volume group on it which I would like to mount on the second system. However, I may or may not be able to mark the volume group as "exported".
Is there any way to import a volume group which isn't marked as "exported"? Or to use the destination system to mark it as such?
Background: I've been tasked with creating a Linux VM (Virtual Machine) with ClamAV on it which can scan other Linux VM disks. To do that I assumed I'd shut down the target system and mount its disks on the scanning VM, do the scan, then remove the target disks from the scanning VM.
Is there a better way?
