After a forced reboot while my 2.6.12 system was frozen, the JFS formatted LVM2 VG I have created will not mount upon startup. When I use the following command to mount it by hand, I get a generic bad superblock message: pvr ~ # mount -t jfs /dev/myth-video-vg/myth-video /video mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/myth-video-vg/myth-video, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so I ran jfs_fsck on both physical volumes that are part of the VG and one partition had a detectable error that was fixed by replaying the log. Now jfs_fsk reports two clean filesystems. pvr ~ # jfs_fsck /dev/sdb jfs_fsck version 1.1.8, 03-May-2005 processing started: 12/4/2005 10.1.24 Using default parameter: -p The current device is: /dev/sdb Block size in bytes: 4096 Filesystem size in blocks: 61049646 **Phase 0 - Replay Journal Log Filesystem is clean. pvr ~ # jfs_fsck /dev/sda4 jfs_fsck version 1.1.8, 03-May-2005 processing started: 12/4/2005 10.1.31 Using default parameter: -p The current device is: /dev/sda4 Block size in bytes: 4096 Filesystem size in blocks: 16844152 **Phase 0 - Replay Journal Log Filesystem is clean. Despite their cleanliness, they still won't mount. Do I need to go about restoring anything in LVM2 meta data in order to mount? I've read this previous post about using vgcfgrestore and tried it with the newest file in /etc/lvm/archive/, but it had not effect after completing sucessfully. pvr ~ # vgcfgrestore --file /etc/lvm/archive/myth-video-vg_00003.vg myth-video-vg Restored volume group myth-video-vg pvr ~ # mount -t jfs /dev/myth-video-vg/myth-video /video mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/myth-video-vg/myth-video, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so I'm really not sure what I need to do in order to get this VG mounted. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
