To access lv from my rescue system (grml) I use the following commands: /sbin/vgscan /sbin/vgchange -ay This creates the /dev/mapper/ entries - and is what is done in debian's lvm2 init script.
That's exactly what the mondorescue init script does but in some cases this does not create the /dev/mapper/ entries. I'd sure like to know why. I have a hunch that it is not able to create the lockfile.
