Hi

I am trying to mount one of the lvm /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Checking with fsck, giving the following error..

[root@localhost ~]# fsck /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
fsck: fsck.swap: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.swap for /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01

can any trace out how to resolve this issue to make life easier.

Its have very critical data and need to copy some config file from here.

Thanks In Advance

have a look at the parts I've highlighted. You are trying to mount a swap partition which is not ext3 formated.

You have 2 partitons assigned to swap space, /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_swap and /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01.

Maybe that wasn't what you expected?

2TB of swap should definitely be enough for most applications

If your running system also uses LVM and if the volume groups have the same name, you'd probably find it easier to mount the recovery disk from a live linux CD. I use fedora 19 live CD for this, just boo the live cd, enter a root terminal, issue "vgchange -a y" to activate your lvm on the recovery disk, and then mount the desired lvm volume group.

I usually just copy off what I need to an external usb disk temporarily, then disconnect the recovery disk, reboot to the normal system, hook up the external usb disk and copy what you need.

Once I attempted to activate two volume groups with the same name (trying to recover some fedora system data), but that didn't go well at all. lvm got "confused" when both vg's had a name conflict.

Thanks to All Linux Guru if someone me out the exact point.

This is not 2TB HD which i looking to mount.
Here it goes..

I have no any live CD or recovery disk for the same.

can you please explain which partition needed to be mounted instead of SWAP partiton so i could get the data.
its very critical for me.

Thanks and Regards
