Hi, My company uses a SuSE email server III solution. The box has 2 IDE drives, hda with /boot, /, and swap partintions on. The second, hdc, was placed in a LVG with a LV for /var occupying all availlable space. While I was away (quick absolution of self) one of the junior guys did an online update of the software after which the system wouldn't start again. To make a long story short, I managed to get the system going again BUT..... /var cannot be mounted. /etc/fstab points to /dev/system/VAR. Upon inspection, this binary file turns out to contain nothing but an error message about being unable to write to /lib/modules/2.4.18-nnnnn/modules.dep. Ooops... Now my question is this: Is it possible to recover the data from the /var LV if the /dev/system/VAR file has gone AWOL? Any pointers to documentation/tools will be very much appreciated. Thanks, Lawrence _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
