I've gotten myself into a mess I think. What happened is:
my internet hung. I ended up rebooting the machine I use for gateways etc.
The init failed. It looks like it failed where it tries to mount the root. I booted a recovery disk at this point.
Quite awhile back I was upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04, I was doing it by taking a snapshot, doing the upgrade, testing it, merging, doing the next upgrade, etc. It appears that I forgot to do the final merge, so I was running off of a snapshot.
I believe that the snapshot filled. And now it's no longer mounting.
Here's where I made my mistake, I probably should have removed the snapshot at this point. Instead I tried to merge it. Now I seem to be stuck, the merge is not happening, I can't rename the snapshot, I can't delete it, I can't take another snapshot of the original disk.
Where I want to be, ideally I would like to see the the original snapshot merged into the origin. Barring that I'd like to get rid of the snapshot and go back to the original disk. I do take daily backups, so I should be able to recover if I can get the system sane.
So, what do I do at this point?
Thanks muchly
Jay
