Use "lsblk" for listing the active block devices. You should run "sudo
vgchange -ay" and then "lsblk". The logical volumes inside your
/dev/sdb5 should be displayed. Also have a look at /dev/mapper. There,
the logical volumes are present as well.

Use "mount /dev/mapper/XXX MOUNTPOINT" to mount a logical volume.

Good luck
