Needed help to fix corrupted ext3 fs

[Kevin Strong]

If I would have known it was a logical volume (didn't pay enough 
attention because I was at work), I wouldn't have suggested what I did.

Anyway, what specifically happens when you boot up?  Does it force you 
to a root prompt or does it boot up but refuse write access?

In any event, the e2fsck -fp should have fixed any minor problems and 
reported larger ones but failed to do so.  What is the entire contents 
of your /etc/fstab?
