root@server097 [~]# mount /dev/sda2 /backup
mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'

I only want to mount /dev/sda2 (this is the secondary drive) but getting the above error. I want to mount it to /backup

root@server097 [~]# pvscan
  PV /dev/sda2   VG vg_server097   lvm2 [148.56 GiB / 0    free]
  Total: 1 [148.56 GiB] / in use: 1 [148.56 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]

root@server097 [~]# vgscan
  Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
  Found volume group "vg_server097" using metadata type lvm2

root@server097 [~]# lvscan 
  ACTIVE            '/dev/vg_server097/lv_root' [50.00 GiB] inherit

/dev/sda2 is part of a LVM group, you can't mount it. Provide `pvscan`, `vgscan`, and `lvscan` for details. — fuero, Nov 04 '13 at 13:47
If /dev/sda1 isn't mounted (`cat /proc/mounts`), try mounting that. It doesn't seem to be referenced by anything you provided. — fuero, Nov 04 '13 at 13:50

/dev/sda2 is part of a LVM group, you can't mount it.

No other evidence you provided suggests presence of another disk. All LVM volumes/parts of sda are mounted and in use, according to /proc/mounts
