[CentOS] Lost all info in a file server because of LVM - HEEEELP ME, please
Hi, I'm totally desperated. I have this file server with a total of about 200 GB of my user's files. The server has "3 in 1" discs, using LVM. Somehow, i don't know why, the LVM info is gone and i cannot access my file system. I had in LVM: sda1 -> /boot sda2 -> / sda3 -> /home (where all the Samba shares resides). sda4 -> swap sdb sdc Tha machine now starts with a single partition ( / ) mounted on /dev/root From there i can manually mount under /mnt partitions "/boot", "/", but NOT "/home". Trying to mount /home, i always get the busy error. I cannot unmount the "/" on /dev/root, obviously. How can i (if possible) restore the LVM info ? I have a backup from Sunday, so, it's really not a life or death case, but nevertheless it is a real annoiance, and the server is already down for 24 hours :( Any help would be apreciated. Warm Regards, M?rio Gamito
