I also should have said that that's why the "fsck /dev/hdb2" failed...hdb2 isn't an ext3 filesystem...it's the low level thing that the LVM-based ext3 filesystem is built on. You'd have to run the fsck against the /dev/mapper/vgname-lvname device to bring LVM into play. For example, the actual device making up my /usr filesystem is /dev/mapper/sys_vg-usr_lv. It's made up of chunks of the sys_vg volume group. Other chunks of the sys_vg volume group make up my /, /home, /var and swap filesystems: [root@golem2 ~]# lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/sys_vg/root_lv VG Name sys_vg LV UUID 9IznKZ-7CXS-ifiP-pBn1-UZEP-FVG5-A4FWoF LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 4.00 GB Current LE 128 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:0 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/sys_vg/home_lv VG Name sys_vg LV UUID BG1xHJ-wIA4-x2ch-VTjO-l2T2-UJQB-qtQ1Ea LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 8.00 GB Current LE 256 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:1 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/sys_vg/usr_lv VG Name sys_vg LV UUID RV0DQW-t95g-KV7v-ufL6-gt34-plKd-HmzI3d LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 91.50 GB Current LE 2928 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:2 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/sys_vg/var_lv VG Name sys_vg LV UUID xhlaZy-XK4N-vHF7-KoQk-3k6Y-0nXP-VMT8cU LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 4.00 GB Current LE 128 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:3 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/sys_vg/swap_lv VG Name sys_vg LV UUID ulRHpF-CISK-rO1q-39Yw-Tc7B-2xmW-iDkxWC LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 4.00 GB Current LE 128 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:4 [root@golem2 ~]# vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name sys_vg System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 6 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 5 Open LV 5 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 111.53 GB PE Size 32.00 MB Total PE 3569 Alloc PE / Size 3568 / 111.50 GB Free PE / Size 1 / 32.00 MB VG UUID cJYqjz-NKht-cmEf-5Kzf-GxVG-P1hn-nI5ivV [root@golem2 ~]# pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hda2 VG Name sys_vg PV Size 111.53 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 3569 Free PE 1 Allocated PE 3568 PV UUID ecTyyn-waBk-HSIN-eMDZ-fLQX-KX1h-zMw0od ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - You possess a mind not merely twisted, but actually sprained. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
