Need some guidance here We issued the shutdown command for a Linux test image and after it went down we IPL'ed the LPAR. In the boot process coming up we are receiving a the message that /dev/opt/opt a LVM reiserfs file system has problems. I can see from the log that FSCK has tried to fix the problem, but is unable to. It then issues the message to run it manually. I have attempted to run it manually issuing the command FSCK.REISERFS --rebuild-sb /dev/opt/opt. When I issues this command it tells me it cannot find the device? Anyone have thoughts as to how I could recover this? We were lacks and had not yet made backups of this LVM file system , so I can not restore it from a back-up. I do have a TAR file back-up of the complete system that resides on another LVM file system. This could be used to rebuild the systems, if I could get the system up. But can not access this because the system does not boot up high enough to get to these files. Is their a way to bypass what's on /opt and get the system up? I could then make a new /opt filesystems if I could just get the system up. Another thought I had was to modify the /etc/fstab file and take the entry for /dev/opt/opt out of it. But, we are unable to connect to the partition via ssh. I am communicating with the system via the HMC reading the message console for the LPAR? Using this method the screen are not friendly and trying to use VI is impossible, as I can't read the screen when in VI from the message console.
