will fsck work on lvm

I take it that fsck does not work in the same way on lvm as it does on 'real' partitions, e.g., fsck -fy /dev/sda1 will cause problems on something that has been installed from a recent Ubuntu installation disk, while accessing the drive from a live disk?

Fred.

Yes, but you have to fsck the LVM, not the devices that comprise the LVM.

See this

and this

fsck+lvm
Thanks for replies. I wont say it is solved as I've not tried the solutions. Have avoided LVM as I don't understand it but at least repairs are demystified. Some, long overdue, reading is needed.

Fred.

Maybe http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ and this http://sunoano.name/ws/public_xhtml/lvm.html for really in depth
