Are you sure that you fsck'ed the correct device name? You want to use the
device name for the logical volume (LV), not the name for the volume group
(VG) or physical volume (PV). The LVM stuff works below the level of the
filesystem, so there is no conceptual link between the two except when
resizing a mounted filesystem after resizing the underlying LV.
