Re: *URGENT* plz need help system not booting after lvresize command
ok finally, recovering the data from old drive :(.. recovering data is not a big deal however creating the same directory infrastructure . rights assigning and stuff is pain ..

Probably not, because this error means that accessing whatever is attached to the third SATA port is somehow broken. You did not answer my previous questions: 1) Do other HDD work at this SATA port? actually i didnt check the SATA port however i change the working HD SATA port as i already share i have multiple drives in a box so the drive is showing the same error which shows that problem is not with sata 2) How does this HDD behave at another SATA port, preferably in another computer? You could also try to get an external enclosure and connect the HDD during runtime. ok ill try this external case suggestion However, I highly doubt that you can ‘just copy’ the necessary data of this drive. lets hope for the best. however i do have the copy but have to do lots and lots of work. which i hate now :( Best regards, Claudius PS: Please do not CC me. -- There cannot be a crisis next week.

Re: *URGENT* plz need help system not booting after lvresize command
sorry, if i am miss leading with the error . actually i belive that this must have happen. by the lvresize command. actually every thing was working nice and smooth. here is the quick story. first i ran the command. 1. i resize the old partition lvresize -L 400GB VG-NAME with PATH 2 then i ran resize command resize2fs -p /dev/mapper/vg--800-Archive400GB but gives me error and tells me to run e2fsck -f 3. so i rant e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/vg--800-Archive400GB which was fine and even vg display and df -h showing the same size so i got relaxed that things are fine. 4. then i created another one for quota assignment to all the users lvcreate -L 245GB VG-NAME AND path-n name then i transfer the ext4 file system to it. i dont remeber the command but it was something.ext4 lv complete path 5 and i enabled the quota in fstab alog with the UUID to mount it on boot. 6. then i enabled kernal moudule. modprob qutoa_v2 echo qutoa_v2 /etc/modules (do you think it could be the module issue?) 7. for testing i mount the drive by mount usrquota source path mount point so it worked find . .. now next reboot problem started. thats the whole story..

Johnson IT Administrator Rasmussen Equipment The path to the CD downloads is http://www.debian.org/CD/ Pick you poison on how you want to download it. If I am understanding your situation correctly, you have 3 disks. 2 320GB disks are mirrored for md0 and then you have your LVM on top of that. Then you have disk 3 as swap (md1). Where you had the mirror active when you where trying to resize the corruption would probably be on both disks. I would use the live cd and look at each one separately and see if the filesystems on both are the new size or the old. If you have one that is ok, you can use mdadm to drop the bad disk from the raid then add it back later after you system boots from the good disk so that it becomes the mirror of the good drive. Otherwise you are going to have to try and use the live cd to try and get to your data. Reconstruct your system then put back the data you can. If you aren't using mdadm for your raid and just using LVM then you will access the fstab on the system and point it to the mirrored drive if it is still good. Good luck Mohammud. Shane

Hello Muhammad, Muhammad Yousuf Khan sir...@gmail.com wrote: at least there should be a way to reach the command prompt. is there any way to ignore this error and reach the command prompt so i can just copy the necessary data. Probably not, because this error means that accessing whatever is attached to the third SATA port is somehow broken. You did not answer my previous questions: 1) Do other HDD work at this SATA port? 2) How does this HDD behave at another SATA port, preferably in another computer? You could also try to get an external enclosure and connect the HDD during runtime. However, I highly doubt that you can ‘just copy’ the necessary data of this drive.

You did not answer my previous questions: 1) Do other HDD work at this SATA port? actually i didnt check the SATA port however i change the working HD SATA port as i already share i have multiple drives in a box so the drive is showing the same error which shows that problem is not with sata 2) How does this HDD behave at another SATA port, preferably in another computer? You could also try to get an external enclosure and connect the HDD during runtime. ok ill try this external case suggestion However, I highly doubt that you can ‘just copy’ the necessary data of this drive. lets hope for the best. however i do have the copy but have to do lots and lots of work. which i hate now :( Best regards, Claudius PS: Please do not CC me. -- There cannot be a crisis next week.
