OK, I booted into single user mode and when starting up I see that it says /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 has two volumes. it the checks /boot and I am at sh-3.00# in /etc/fstab I see: /dev/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / ext3 [snip] Label=/boot /boot ext3 [snip] none /dev/pts none /dev/shm none /proc none /sys /dev/VolGroup00-LogVol01 swap /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk So if I understand this I can just go after / doing rsync -av? Thank you for the help thus far! -Jason _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
