Hi Linuxers,

I am a newbie here and loggin this facilities regularly.

Recently my PC experience a power trip, my system could not boot up after restarting.

I did the following :

  • Boot up with "linux rescue" using installation disk FC3
  • In a shell, run "lvm vgchange --ignorelockingfailure -P -a y"
  • since / parition is not mountable, I run "mknod /dev/dm-0 b 253 0"
  • fsck -y /dev/dm-0, it took a long time but it clean now
  • mount /dev/dm-0 /tmpRoot
  • found out that there were NOTHING! except the lost+found directory which contains many files with a "#" prefix
  • Restart the system but still could not boot up
    One of the message says "ext3: No journal on filesystem on dm-0"

I am in a fix and what should I do now ?

Anyone could shed some light would be greatly appreciated!

regards
Chow
