No, because the failure you describe is at the filesystem level. Even the |
| 16 |
volume containing that filesystem will retain integrity, only the |
| 17 |
filesystem itself will be corrupted. As you have left free space on the |
| 18 |
volume group, you can just create a new volume, format it and copy over |
| 19 |
everything you can recover from the broken filesystem before deleting it. |
