Hi folks,
I had a wierd hard crash with amarok running & on the first reboot I
had a dpkg error when installing/reinstalling some stuff. On the next
reboot gdm wouldn't start, ando n the third I couldn't log in even at
the console. I've tracked down my Ubuntu Dapper LiveCD and am trying
torecover. but gparted crashes when I try to run it:
debugreiserfs 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com)
debugreiserfs: can not open reiserfs on
"/dev/mapper/Anarres--64--main-home1": No such file or directory
/dev/mapper/Anarres--64--main-root1: No such file or directory
fatal error -- couldn't initialize XFS library
glibmm-ERROR **:
unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler:
what: basic_string::substr
aborting...
Aborted
-----------
My main system is in an LVM Volume Group called Anarres-64-main, with
two partitions:
root: the root system
home: /home
/boot is on a seperate partition.
the LVM itself (Anarres-64-main) is itself running on top of a simple
software RAID-1 that houses both root and home LV's. The raid uses
identical partitions on identical S-ATA disks... but I actually don't
know much about RAID and I don't know how to tell if there's some
physical corruption causing the malfunction.
Anyway, my question:
how, given that gparted crashes, can I fix this system? And why is
gparted talking about "-root1" and "-home1" when the names of the lv's
are 'root' and 'home' respectively?
ANyway, thanks,
matt
