I have this file server with a total of about 200 GB of my user's files= =2E The server has "3 in 1" discs, using LVM. Somehow, i don't know why, the LVM info is gone and i cannot access my=20 file system. I had in LVM: sda1 -> /boot sda2 -> / sda3 -> /home (where all the Samba shares resides). sda4 -> swap sdb sdc Tha machine now starts with a single partition ( / ) mounted on /dev/ro= ot From there i can manually mount under /mnt partitions "/boot", "/", bu= t=20 NOT "/home". Trying to mount /home, i always get the busy error. I cannot unmount the "/" on /dev/root, obviously. How can i (if possible) restore the LVM info ? I have a backup from Sunday, so, it's really not a life or death case,=20 but nevertheless it is a real annoiance, and the server is already down= =20 for 24 hours :( Any help would be apreciated.
