That's not inconsistent with using LVM:-)
What are the partition types?
LVM should show as partition type 0x8e, others as 0x83.
The file command can recognise an ext3 filesystem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sudo dd if=/dev/hda1 count=400 | file -
400+0 records in
400+0 records out
/dev/stdin: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
(if give enough, but not too much) but not, AFAICT, LVM:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sudo dd if=/dev/hda2 count=400 | file -
400+0 records in
400+0 records out
/dev/stdin: data

We have an issue with one of our SLES9 servers. We'd like to mount the
root FS on another server so can pull off a file that we really need.
The server will boot into single user mode so that part of the FS is
good.
I've attached the mini disk to another Linux guest and IPL'ed it. I can
see it as dev/dasdf1. When I try to mount it, I get the message "Wrong
fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dasdf1, or too many mounted
file systems."
You didn't, by any chance, put your root file system on an LVM volume, did you?
That might result in what you're seeing. If so, you're in for some real fun
and games.
