I have seen this several times after system crashes and each time, the only way to resolve the problem is to login in single-user mode, umount the device (which reports : not mounted) and then reboot... after that, the devices go through the journal replay as expected. As I do not have any lvm'd ext2fs, I will shortly create a small one, crash the system, and see if the problem happens with the lvm'd ext2fs or not, but until that time, here're my specifics: linux 2.2.19 reiserfs 3.5.32 lvm 0.9.1beta7 Also, someone previously asked if my mnttab file or /proc/mounts might have been the issue, so in rcS i had it copy them elsewhere before it removed the mnttab and started trying to mount filesystems... /proc/mounts only showed /dev/root on / and procfs on /proc... mnttab didn't have the external volumes in them either. Thanks. -- Scott Denton smdenton@bellsouth.net
