Ok, here are some commands to help you from a Live CD (assuming this is what you are using to do 'fdisk -l /dev/sda'). Most of this is from memory (sorry don't have a system to to run a rescue disk on right now) Display physical volumes for LVM, for you this should be /dev/sda2: /sbin/lvm pvdisplay if that does not show anything try: /sbin/lvm pvscan Display Volume Groups (should have something like "VG Name VolGroup00"): /sbin/lvm vgdisplay again if nothing is displayed try: /sbin/lvm vgscan then you can try to display the actual filesystem partitions called logical volumes(lv): /sbin/lvm lvdisplay these should show something like: LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 that one should be /: try fscking: fsck /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 if that works you should be able to mount it: mount /mnt/tmpslash /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 Ryan _______________________________________________ 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
