Editing FSTAB on a VolGroup Drive
 

Hello

I have a CentOS server and I wrongly adjusted the /etc/fstab file, and buggered up the boot.. so I'm booting up off slax (Bootable Drive)

But having trouble mounting the drive that contains the /etc dir

When I mount /mnt/hdd2 I get SOME folders, but when I mount /dev/hdd3 I get the "unknown filesystem type 'lvm2pv'" error

Have been googling around for ages, but just cant find something that wont totally root the server up

Cheers in advance

Run and post the output.

There is

/dev/hdd1 - Linux
/dev/hdd2 - Linux
/dev/hdd3 - Linux LVM

Let me know if you want all the info, dont want to type it all

Well, here are instructions for reading LVM drives on Knoppix

Should be the same sort of principle from Slackware I'd have thought.

Another thing - /dev/hdd3 is the device that's describing the entire Volume Group. When you mount, it'll probably be something like /VolGroup00/LogVol00 - but lvs should tell you this.
