You must configure LVM to mount the partition. I know of no other way, since LVM creates strange partition blocks on which sits a "normal" partition. I learned that one the hard way (I ended up opening the drive using a text editor and reading it - LVM cruft all over the place for about 4MB before the real ext3 data began). LVM also has a few recovery tools you might try to restore the LVM group. > Prob 2) > then i have to make that data available on network using samba -server > so people can reach the directory full of data > > Original-Prob: > the prev fc4 system on lvm was corrupt during bugzilla installation > one of my colleages he brought some files on pendrive (dir->rc.d, dir- >>init.d, dir->mysqld, dir->httpd etc) > and directly copied it to the system overwritting all the previously > installed files > now the system is booting but it is showing hege no of errors > samba-server has stopped working > data is present but we cant access data from other winxp-systems > we cant even ping > > i know the problem is huge and i know it requies expertise to be > solved > yet it is not impossible , > i am trying by myself and expect the experts to help me in solving > this problem The experts wrote a manual for this reason. Google for LVM and find what you seek you shall. Alternatively you could try data mining the drive (like they use for badly damage drives, physically damaged drives). It's far less reliable, but that's another route you can take if LVM doesn't work with you. -- Registered Linux Addict #431495 http://profile.xfire.com/mrstalinman | John 3:16! http://www.fsdev.net/ | http://lordsauron.wordpress.com/ Parents, Take Responsibility For Your Kids! http://www.whattheyplay.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
