Well,
I will first try to boot from the install CD/DVD on rescue mode, if it can't
handle the LVM data on the HDD. I will try Ubuntu :)
Can you send more info on the partition schema for this HDD ?
Thanks for your help.
I tried the rescue mode; it only found what was on the new install of 4.3
single server cd;
i tried adding mount /dev/hdb1 /export to fstab and rebooted again;
/export/samba/netdisk0 was there - but it was just an empty file - probably
because of the LV structure on the disk
it seems to me that if a system is built under LVM and is comprised of multiple
disks, recovery out to be quite easy; i must be missing something here; with
the pre-LVM partitioning, i would just mount the /dev/hdb1 and be on my way; i
am hoping there is a similarly easy way to get my disk back into a file system
