Again, there's no reason to think you have a bad superblock. Have you made an image of LogVol00 so you can safely fsck it? >> e2label /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 : bad magic number in >> Group-LogVol01. couldn't find valid filesystem superblock > > (although Jefferson mentioned that might be swap) Given that that's the only other volume, it's almost certainly swap. Can you recover the original /etc/fstab from /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00? That should tell you if it's swap. Or you can run the following command: dd if=/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 bs=1 skip=$[0xff6] count=10 | strings If that yields SWAPSPACE2, it's swap. > there is also: > > /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 but I thought that was /boot ? /boot is /dev/sda1. > sorry about all the questions, but I am a bit of a rookie with fixing crashed > filesystems. That's okay. _______________________________________________ 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
