Mounting a LVM'ed (an possibly broken) Windows partition in Ubuntu
Yesterday i installed Ubuntu 5.10 on a system that already had a windows NTFS and a mandrake partition. At the time, the partitions looked like this :
hda contained the windows NTFS partition on hda1 hdb contained the mandrake partitions, although i cannot remember which partition it had (/, /boot and swap i assume) I asked Ubuntu to install itself on hdb, overwriting the mandrake installation, but i must at some point in the installation (due to errors which i unfortunately cannot remember) done something wrong, since it turned my windows partition into an LVM partition. Now, the partition apparently still exists, since i added the windows entry to grub's menu.lst and it can boot. however, it appears to be on another partition than before, according to windows, so windows BSOD's during startup. A "fdisk -l /dev/hda" shows this : Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80054059008 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9732 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 31 248976 83 Linux /dev/hda2 32 9732 77923282+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 32 9732 77923251 8e Linux LVM a "pvdisplay" shows this : --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hda5 VG Name Ubuntu PV Size 74,31 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes (but full) PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 19024 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 19024 PV UUID 70cSTT-kITw-dtKA-xl1E-Ug5L-LdhT-Bp93Lx and a "lvdisplay" shows this : --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/Ubuntu/windows VG Name Ubuntu LV UUID tfEehc-gh8D-YZ76-CnUb-9jrB-YxNU-XEUS7I LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 0 LV Size 74,31 GB Current LE 19024 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:0 I've tried doing "mount /dev/Ubuntu/windows /media/windows/ -t ntfs" but that returns : mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/Ubuntu/windows, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so and "dmesg | tail" returns : [4296266.584000] NTFS-fs error (device dm-0): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Primary boot sector is invalid. [4296266.584000] NTFS-fs error (device dm-0): read_ntfs_boot_sector(): Mount option errors=recover not used. Aborting without trying to recover. [4296266.584000] NTFS-fs error (device dm-0): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume. So, to sum it up, can i access my windows partition or is it broke? i just need access to the files. Alternatively, can i 'turn off' LVM on the partition, and turn it back into a normal NTFS partition? Also, please reply if you need any more info on the setup. -- Allan K Last edited by allank; October 15th, 2005 at 10:42 AM.. Reason: forgot to turn on notification, no change in text |
