I really have no idea if it works, but have you tried to export your
LVM volume via NFS and then mount it on your FreeBSD machine? All what
FreeBSD will see is an NFS volume which we all know work very well.

Just an idea,

Yeah, I'm sure that would work - I already export most of my data via NFS
anyway - except that the machine I was going to try it on is the one with
the LVM data, thus I can't export it as NFS from Linux whilst FreeBSD is
running on the bare hardware (or can I?). Thanks anyway.

(FYI, the other machine I *could* try it on is a laptop; I actually did
intend to use FreeBSD as the primary OS on it at one point, but had zero
luck with either of the wifi cards (one internal, one cardbus - the cardbus
one is there because the internal one also refuses to work in Linux) in it.
A laptop with no network access isn't much good to me! :-( )
