Hi I have a system which was dual boot and had the following configuration /dev/sda1 NTFS /dev/sda2 NTFS /dev/sda3 linux /dev/sda4 extended /dev/sda5 lvm
The filesystem got crashed, now i am trying to recover it without corrupting windows partition. I booted the system in rescue mode and mounted the linux filesystem which was on lvm in the following way... bash$ mkdir /new bash$ mount /dev/mapper/VG00/LogVol00 /new bash$ reboot then it came to the grub prompt grub> ?????? now I am not able to understand what to do.... Plaese help me with the lvm concepts, so that I can understand and resolve the problem.
