Another thanks from me – saved me a tonne of time and effort gaining access to a LVM volume in a volume!

Thank you very much for “yum –disablerepo=’epel’ install vlc”. It worked effortlessly for my Centos 5.6 X64.

Worked for me, but I’ve removed the “libdvdread.x86_64″ from epel first.

# yum erase libdvdread.x86_64

Thanks for the tip

..and another heart-felt thank you here from Brisbane, Australia. This post helped me recover from a nightmare scenario of a corrupt VMWare snapshot, which contained our company’s shared file server. I love the internet!
