Hi, Tried adding a disk with LVM2. Rebooted maybe too soon and Grub became confused and system will not boot. It's Unbuntu Server 10.04. Removed new disk - grub still confused, no boot. I put in a live Ubuntu disk to look and hopefully repair non-LVM ext3 boot partition...somehow. But I can not mount the boot partiton. Yet, sudo fdisk -l says ID 83, Linux for /dev/sda1 - the boot partition. But when I try: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/bootp I get: mount:unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'...fdisk reports differently... How can this be right? I clearly remember installing the /boot as an ext3 partiton. sudo pvs says: PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda1 lvm2 a- 190.00m 190.00m /dev/sda2 system lvm2 a- 92.97g 0 I can mount the partitons in /dev/sda2 by installing LVM2 while using the live disk and some command-line - so I can recover the data if necessay so all is not lost. But I would really like to know what is going on and how to get the system booting again. Again the boot partition was ext3 and separate, why can't I access it, fdisk confirms...? Thanks.
