You were right, the problem was about the partition table. Actually, even if it was a gpt partition table, it was corrupted. I seems to be a ubuntu parted problem. I had to rebuild pared from the sources and when I ran it, it said : # ./parted GNU Parted 1.8.8 Using /dev/cciss/c1d0 Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) print print Warning: /dev/cciss/c1d0 contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Is this a GPT partition table? Yes/No? yes yes Model: Compaq Smart Array (cpqarray) Disk /dev/cciss/c1d0: 7501GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 17.4kB 7501GB 7501GB xfs primary So I deleted the existing partition and recreated a new one. I found back all my data on this new partition, and on reboot there is no problem anymore. Thanks a lot for your help ! :) Amandine Eric Sandeen a écrit : > Amandine AUPETIT wrote: > >> Hi, >> Thanks for the advice ! >> I checked the label with xfs_admin -l : >> # xfs_admin -l /dev/cciss/c1d0p1 >> label = "" >> >> I tried to blank it in case there is something invisible : >> # xfs_admin -L -- /dev/cciss/c1d0p1 >> writing all SBs >> new label = "" >> >> But it seems to be the same. :( >> > > No, not the filesystem label, the disklabel, otherwise known as the > partition table - dos vs. gpt.
