Hi friends,

I have a Linux system version 5.0 Redhat Enterprise customised, in this system i used a script that takes snap of the data an store it in harddrive at som location.

now the problem is this script worked fine till now but last day i use it, it worked too but now i am unable to start my laptop it shows the following error message:

Quote:

/dev/homevg/home-snapshot: UNEXPECTD INCONSISTENCY; Run fsck Manually (i,e without -a or -p)
enter root password for maintainance:
or press CTRL-D to exit

let me explain the location paradigm:

Quote:

homevg is the customesied volume to store the snapshot of the system created by the script.

home-snapshot is the snapshot that is created by the script.

i tried using fsck but it didnt worked.
i tried using recovery script but it also didnt worked.

Actually some of my imp data is under it.
so any of you if able to find a solution that can resolve or Undo this can help.

Well, you say RedHat 5...do you mean RedHat5, or RedHat ENTERPRISE 5? And you can't fsck a volume that's mounted and busy, so dismount the volume, then run fsck on it, and remount it. Could very well be that the hard drive has gone bad.

What message(s) did it give you??

And since you're using RHEL, you can call RedHat support, since you're paying for it with your RHEL subscription.
