Robin, I owe you. I'd like to repay you either by coding a small to medium-sized app for you in C, bash or python, or by buying you a tea/coffee/beer/wine of your choice (one of moderate price :). What would you prefer? This is what worked for me: On FC3's recovery cdrom... 1) Do startup network interfaces 2) Don't try to automatically mount the filesystems - not even readonly 3) lvm vgchange --ignorelockingfailure -P -a y 4) fdisk -l, and guess which partition is which based on size: the small one was /boot, and the large one was / 5) mkdir /mnt/boot 6) mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/boot 7) Look up the device node for the root filesystem in /mnt/boot/grub/grub.conf 8) A first tentative step, to see if things are working: fsck -n /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 9) Dive in: fsck -f -y /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 10) Wait a while... Be patient. Don't interrupt it 11) Reboot _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
