Hi,
about the *environment* :
[root@priscilla var]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.21-20.ELsmp (bhcompile@tweety.build.redhat.com) (gcc
version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-42)) #1 SMP Wed Aug 18
20:46:40 EDT 2004
The *problem* :
I extended a logical volume following the procedure
umount -l /dev/Volume00/var
lvextend -L+5G /dev/Volume00/var
e2fsck -f /dev/Volume00/var
mount -l /dev/Volume00/var
The ouput of e2fsck was as following :
[root@priscilla var]# e2fsck -f /dev/Volume00/var
e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Duplicate blocks found... invoking duplicate block passes.

/dev/Volume00/var: 553/1572864 files (14.8% non-contiguous),
706071/6291456 blocks
Now, once the filesystem mounted, I've lost all the data I had on /var
(which I didn't back up, I know I know it's extremely stupid, luckily
enough this is not a production machine).
For example
[root@priscilla var]# ll /var/
total 0
however
[root@priscilla var]# mkdir /var/log
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/log': File exists
??
What happened ? How to get all the data back ?
Thank you
Giulio
