Hi all- I corrupted my filesystem by not doing a RTFM first... I got an automated email that the process monitoring the SMART data from my hard drive detected a bad sector. Not thinking (or RTFMing), I did a fsck on my partition- which is the main partition. Now it appears that I've ruined the superblock. I am running Fedora Core 6. I am booting off the Fedora Core 6 Rescue CD in

Hi, I have CentOS 5.0 which use an old hard disk. And recently I found there are some bad sector on it ... I try to backup my data to other CentOS 5.0 box .... What I did is. I remove the old HD (with bad sector) and install it as a slave IDE on a working CentOS 5.0 ... I try to mount the old HD as /mnt/oldDisk but since it's a LVM, the "mount -t ext3" doesn't work. I'm

No domU is currently running. I could start domUs a week ago.
