I installed x86_64 FC6 on a new Dell Inspiron 9400 running an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. It has a Hitachi HTS72101 100GB HDD. The initial installed kernel was 2.6.18-1.2798 but I upgraded, via yum, to 2.6.18-1.2849 almost immediately. There are 2 partitions on the HDD - one for /boot and one for a Logical Volume Group. I split the Logical Volume Group into 4 volumes: 00 - 64.72 GB, / mount point 01 - 1.94 GB, swap space 02 - 6.81 GB, /home/charlie mount point 03 - 19.53 GB, /home/media mount point About a week after setting up, I rebooted. After reboot all the data in volumes 02 & 03 were gone and the permissions had been reset to what they were just after initial installation. Prior to this particular reboot, I had rebooted many times without any problems. I looked through the log files (that I know about) and could find nothing that, to me, indicated a problem. Needless to say, I am very nervous now about using the laptop as my primary machine. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be or what other trouble shooting I could do? -- Regards, Charlie _______________________________________________ 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/
