Too late to help now, but you should run "lvresize -r" when shrinking filesystems, so that the filesystem is resized first. > To correct the situation, I ran mk2efs. This fix the geometry but, my /home/<user> is gone. If you've run mke2fs, it's probably time to go to backups. > I found a recovery point from 2014 in /etc/ LVM/archive.

However, recovery of the filesystem in place may not be possible, and as Chris indicated, you almost certainly want to avoid making any changes to the data on the disk (filesystems or files) until your data is recovered. That means copying data off of that disk to another disk. You probably want to look at photorec and testdisk. Run them from a bootable live USB installation to see if they can find your files. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
