Subject: [linux-lvm] Help to mount ext3 boot partiton which reports it's LVM2_member when I try to mount it
Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:45:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1308260745.12257.1464013973@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)
Hi,
Tried adding a disk with LVM2. Rebooted maybe too soon and Grub became
confused and system will not boot.
It's Unbuntu Server 10.04. Removed new disk - grub still confused, no
boot. I put in a live Ubuntu disk to look and hopefully repair non-LVM
ext3 boot partition...somehow. But I can not mount the boot partiton.
Yet, sudo fdisk -l says ID 83, Linux for /dev/sda1 - the boot partition.
But when I try: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/bootp I get: mount:unknown
filesystem type 'LVM2_member'...fdisk reports differently...
How can this be right? I clearly remember installing the /boot as an
ext3 partiton.
sudo pvs says:
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda1 lvm2 a- 190.00m 190.00m
/dev/sda2 system lvm2 a- 92.97g 0
I can mount the partitons in /dev/sda2 by installing LVM2 while using
the live disk and some command-line - so I can recover the data if
necessay so all is not lost. But I would really like to know what is
going on and how to get the system booting again. Again the boot
partition was ext3 and separate, why can't I access it, fdisk
confirms...? Thanks.
Lee G.
