The system harddrive in my Fedora Core 4 box has recently died. I placed a new drive in the box and reinstalled, this time with Fedora Core 5. No problem. I am now (unsuccessfully) attempting to remount the second drive which is a logical volume with a JFS file system.

When I try to mount the volume, I get the following error:
# mount -t jfs /dev/MythVol/MythVideo /video

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/MythVol/MythVideo,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

I did install support for the JFS file system.
The drive was recognized at install time as hdb1
The logical volume manager does see the volume, but lists the file system as "none"

dmesg | tail renders the following:

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Run vgscan, followed by vgchange -a y. Then try your mount command. You may need to run modprobe dm-mod before all of the above, but I doubt it.

Thanks Haertig, that got me closer. I ended up having to fsck.jfs -a the volume. Once I did that, I could mount it. Now I just need to get the thing to automount and life will be good till the next issue.

Try adding the following line to your /etc/fstab file:
It should automount the next time you boot, or you can manually run mount /video or umount /video to mount or unmount it.
