Automated LVM mounting script

After having had enough of walking people through how to mount a LVM from a LiveCD I finally got eternally tired of if. This script was done entirely in self defense, however as it is meant to be run to rescue an installation that was done on LVM, it might be handy for a few others as well as it boils down to just 4 commands ... OK one of them is a chained command, but whose counting.

Please note, this script needs to be run with root priveledges and was written to run using LVM2.

I hope it helps someone else.

p.s. sorry for the text size, but it was the only way to keep the formatting correct.
