Public bug reported: Set up 2 physical hard drives under LVM management. Neither of them had Linux on them, they were just ext3 backup drives. Since I lost my main drive that had Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64, which was not LVM managed. Did the following:
1. Reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 on main drive (installed LVM2 and rebooted) 2. Attempting to get back one of the LVM backup drives - pvcreate /dev/hda1 Physical volume "/dev/sda1" successfully created - vgcreate SecondaryGroup /dev/sda1 Volume group "SecondaryGroup" successfully created - lvcreate -L 90G SecondaryGroup Logical volume "lvol0" created Here's the problem: mount /dev/SecondaryGroup/lvol0 /mnt/backup mount: you must specify the filesystem type These LVM drives were originally formated as EXT3 (with the x8e on in the partitions) mount -t ext3 /dev/SecondaryGroup/lvol0 /mnt/backup mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/SecondaryGroup-l What I want to do is remount these LVM drives but not lose the data on them. All instructions I find has a mkfs in them, which will destroy the data. How do I simply remount LVM drives at this point? ** Affects: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- cannot mount LVM2 drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
