Hello,

I duplicate an hard drive to another one with logical partition.
I kept the / on a standard partition, put the /usr on /dev/VG1/usr, etc...
When I mount the logical partitions I do  experience any problem but when
I boot the machine on the logical partition I get an error from the
/etc/fstab.

fsck complains
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
  filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
  filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
  is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate 
superblock:
      e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

I am using grub,

In the fstab I put:
/dev/VG1/usr	/usr

I looks like that the logical partitions are not recognize by fsck, but it
works fine when I do the same from a properly boot disk.

What did I miss ?

Regards.
