I need to access ext3 partitions over an LVM logical volume in a SATA HD connected through USB2 to my iMac with OS X 10.6 .
Is it possible to see LVM volumes from OS X? How?
Disk Utility says that the attached device is unknown and propose to initialize it.

OS X Cannot read an LVM Volume, and there are no 3rd party drivers at the moment (or that I'm aware of) to do so. The easiest solution would be to boot off a linux live cd (Ubuntu etc) on your imac, mount the drive, and copy the data elsewhere.
You could also maybe try installing a Linux virtual machine using one of many 3rd party products (VMware Fusion, Parallels, Virtual Box), and mount the volume in there.
AlberT : I already have tried to transfer all data I need using a REHL5 over Vmware Fusion. But, since I need to transfer over 50Gb of data, I repeatedly have gone against a _total machine hang_, it seems that massive I/0 is not supported very well in OS X/Fusion/USB.From the_snitch
