Holas, |

After a week or so of upgrading gcc, emerge -e world/system, watching hal/dbus |
| 4 |
toggle between +/- 0.5 versions, and having gentoo upgrade udev while I'm |
| 5 |
doing all this, I've finally got a clean, rebuilt system. |
| 6 |
revdep-rebuild gives comes up clean. |
| 7 |
emerge -autvDN world comes up empty. |
| 8 |
emerge -a depclean says I don't have to do anything. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
However, upon reboot, I can't get a USB backup drive to mount correctly. |
| 11 |
It's an LVM2 partition that should show up as vgusbhd, mounted to /mnt/usbhd. |
| 12 |
Something seems to die between vgscan finding the drive/partition, and udev |
| 13 |
creating a /dev/mapper/vgusb* mountpoint. It has no problem finding the |
| 14 |
other /hd* LVM2 partitions. Seems only the /dev/sda partition is missing. |
| 15 |
Of course, it's the only usb/sd* drive on the system. |
| 16 |
|

crichton ~ # vgscan |

Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... |

Found volume group "vgiso" using metadata type lvm2 |

And the udev rule that seems to work, since there is a link |

As you can see, there is no /dev/mapper/vgusb. |
| 45 |
>From /etc/fstab... |
| 46 |
/dev/mapper/vgusbhd-usbhd /mnt/usbhd ext3 atime 0 0 |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Trying to mount the drive directly to /dev/sda1 doesn't work, either |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
crichton ~ # mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd/ |
| 51 |
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, |
| 52 |
missing codepage or other error |
| 53 |
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try |
| 54 |
dmesg | tail or so |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
crichton ~ # dmesg | tail |
| 58 |
<snip> |

VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sda1. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
The drive has an ext3 fs on it. It worked until the reboot. But it's (as |
| 62 |
indicated) an LVM partition. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
crichton ~ # fdisk -l |
| 65 |

So, is there a simple command that will get me going? Everything I saw on |
| 74 |
Google says "upon reboot, you should have..." |
| 75 |
I don't. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Thanks. |
