Hi All We have got a Ubuntu desktop used for some development, which is crashed recently and not happy enough to boot. It has got the following partition table. Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 31 248976 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 32 30394 243890797+ 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 32 1346 10562706 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdb6 1347 30394 233328028+ 8e Linux LVM
I booted with Ubuntu-Live CD and couldn't recover anything. Finally attached the disk(via USB port) as a secondary disk on a already running Ubuntu desktop. Disk detected (/dev/sdb) OK, and installed lvm2 on running Ubuntu. After i run though vgscan i could also see VG and logical volume. There is only LV with a single PV. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# pvscan PV /dev/sdb6 VG Ubuntu lvm2 [222.52 GB / 0 free] Total: 1 [222.52 GB] / in use: 1 [222.52 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/Ubuntu/root VG Name Ubuntu LV UUID YEaMF6-sBBk-jvOb-IeM5-88gU-izeu-ic2iHu LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 222.52 GB Current LE 56964 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 254:0 I have got the following issues if somebody could help 1. How do I find the "file system type" on the defined LV, under the Linux LVM partition? Mounting of LV always keep on saying you must specify FS type, but it does't take anyone of ext2, ext3, reiserfs as the file system type. 2. I have run though fsck.ext3, fsck.ext2, fsck.reiserfs but none of them runs successfully 3. There are some bad blocks, can i mark them and still live with this disk and if could recover some data? Thanks and Regards ~yn _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
