OK, I booted into single user mode and when starting up I see that it
says /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 has two volumes.
it the checks /boot and I am at sh-3.00#
in /etc/fstab I see:
/dev/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / ext3 [snip]
Label=/boot /boot ext3 [snip]
none /dev/pts
none /dev/shm
none /proc
none /sys
/dev/VolGroup00-LogVol01 swap
/dev/hda /media/cdrecorder
/dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk
So if I understand this I can just go after / doing rsync -av?
Thank you for the help thus far!
-Jason
