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.
