Hi everyone,

What is best practice for doing this?

If I reboot in single user mode, will my lvm volumes (ie, /var) be available for fsck'ing, or do I have to mount them first?

The current problem started after a different problem required me to do a hard reset on the server - had to do with a mounted QNAP device being unavailable when I initiated a reboot, and everything just hung.

Ever since I did this hard reset, the server hangs at unmounting /var. I've let it sit there for at least an hour, and it never goes past that.

Then after I hard reset it, it fsck's /var partition again, maybe fixes minor problems very quickly, and everything works fine until I have to reboot or shutdown again.

This became a major problem this weekend when we had one extended power outage (about 8 hours) yesterday evening, then another one (about 4 hours) this morning right after I got everything back up and running from last nights outage.

Anyway, I need to do this this weened if at all possible, so...

Anyone have any pointers to detailed docs and or willing to hold my hand through this a little?

Thanks,

Charles
