Need to Mount LUKS external drive on Fedora

$

I had installed Fedora 16 a while back and chose to encrypt my home directory. I have removed the drive and installed a new drive, installed F17 and would like to attach the old drive externally and mount it to recover some of my data. I know the encryption password but I can't seem to find any solid procedures for getting it mounted.

This is the lv I would like to mount.

Code:

--- Logical volume ---
  LV Path                /dev/vg_loukinasfedor/lv_home
  LV Name                lv_home
  VG Name                vg_loukinasfedor
  LV UUID                0PPquP-0oux-vt5Y-03Wu-nFmv-fWnz-JVglFz
  LV Write Access        read/write
  LV Creation host, time ,
  LV Status              available
  # open                0
  LV Size                97.66 GiB
  Current LE            3125
  Segments              1
  Allocation            inherit
  Read ahead sectors    auto
  - currently set to    256
  Block device          253:9

Code:

[root@localhost vg_loukinasfedor]# vgchange -ay
  7 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_loukinasfedor" now active
  0 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg2" now active
  3 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active
[root@localhost vg_loukinasfedor]# mount /dev/vg_loukinasfedor/lv_home /tmp/mount
mount: unknown filesystem type 'crypto_LUKS'
[root@localhost vg_loukinasfedor]#
