@glynmoody Bologna is a city more than a thousand years old, it's not a metropolis. 30 km/h is perfectly right. The use of cars should be reduced (or eliminated), and and this behavior is no longer sustainable for the environment: "One worker told me he no longer has time to drive home for lunch, so has to make do with a sandwich"

@glynmoody also Bologna: the most polluted area in Europe https://bologna.maps.sensor.community/#8/44.981/10.816

I have found an old SATA disk that contains an LVM1 partition. Modern Linux distributions use LVM2. How could I mount it, without having to boot from a live CD that's over 15 years old?

Spend some time reading Hans Reiser's letter. It is a very touching document, full of humanity, as well as being technically highly interesting.
