Linux rescue :you don't have any linux partitions
Hello All,
I have redhat 5 VM which was running as a ftp server but once I restarted the machine, it is not coming up. It gets stucked at the point of loading kernel and returns with this error Code:
kernel panic: not syncing Attempted to kill init I thought it would be better to go to the rescue mode to fix the issue But when I went into rescue mode This is the message which appears on the screen Code:
You donot have any any linux partitions.You will be redirected to shell.Press cancel to reboot. after this when I enter the shell most of the files goes missing from my file system there is no fstab, grub or all other main files To give a try I did the same rescue method in my test vm where I get a message Code:
your linux partition has been mounted on /mnt/sysimage once I enter the shell I run the command as mentioned and all the files are visible I did a bit of search on Google and I found that this is a sort of bug in anaconda for RED HAT but I don't see any solution for this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488984 Can anyone please help me overcome this issue as this server contains very critical data. Or is there any way that I can recover those data. |
Can you Show me the output of fdisk -l command

Thanks for the reply,
Actually for now I have taken a snapshot of current instance and reverted back to the old one, due to which all my recent work has been lost I won't be able to give you the exact output. Code:
#fdisk -l Code:
#df -h |
