Regardless of default install layout, we have a "bad" superblock on /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda2 marked as an LVM device. The evidence is strong that / is an LV within the PV that is on /dev/sda2. If you tried to recover a superblock directly on /dev/sda2 you would wipe out who knows what. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
