John,
I did remove the LVM and mounted the file system i had in /dev/sdb1 as
/backup, It works now...
[root@server]# mount /dev/sdb1 /backup
[root@mail ~]# df -kh
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 459G 105M 436G 1% /backup
[root@server]#
I cant restart the server now but I will have a maintenance window
tomorrow so I will check after the reboot how it goes... I added it to
/etc/fstab anyway:
//dev/sdb1 /backup ext3 suid,dev,exec 0 0/
Thanks in advance for your suggestion.
--Ivan.
