You Should be going to Single User Mode and Run fsck on lvol3 file system and See if corrects it. If not probably you lost that file system. Re-create file system and restore from tape/backup.
I booted from Linux CD and gone into rescue mode and ran fsck , but still not success. Another thing is that when i run parted command in single user mode , it shows both partitions while i list partitions ( but it shows ext3 type for only one partition ) while the partition which is facing problem , is displayed without any filesystem type.
It seems that this partition has lost its type memory....
Still this partition does not contain any critical data...but kindly tell me how i can skip mounting this filesystem??? and boot the machine....
I just edited /etc/fstab and removed that problamatic filesystem entry and system has now rebooted successfully.
Although it seems that this filesystem is unrecoverable for me , but still for my own knowledge want to know that that whether for ext3 filesystems , fsck is the only recovery tool available or is there any tool called ext3.fsck???
or something e2fsck ??? what are the main differences between these tools ???
