Oh, and Joachim, I don't think it was a Hardware issue, I just think I got some sort of data corruption and it messed up the partition table, and since LVM handles the management of Logical Volumes on Real Partitions, there were no partitions that I could e2fsck..... later, Chris <div>On 12/24/06, Joachim Frieben <<a href="mailto:jfrieben@gmx.de">jfrieben@gmx.de</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > First of all I have experienced the same "no help hell" with lvm when > it crashes.
