Hi I've been doing a lot of googling and think I'm nearly at the point I can get access back to my NV Frontview. Basically, NFS started to fail, then CIFS went down, then I got all sorts of o...

That's the main log. Best to copy it in case it contains something important in case there's something else wrong.

If you're familiar with LVM2 commands such as vgscan and vgchange it's pretty straightforward to mount the data volume (at your own risk of course and assuming the data volume is fine).

That's what I thought, but unfortunately I don't have a scooby when it comes to LVM2 commands such as vgscan and vgchange.

I'm pretty sure my data volume is fine.

Any chance you could let me know the commands I would need to mount it?

Thanks again.

  Ok, a bit more googling gets me:
  
  start_raid.sh
  mount /dev/hdc1 /sysroot
  chroot /sysroot
  mount proc
  vgscan
  vgchange -ay c
  mount -a
  
  Obviously I've done the first two lines to get me where I am now, but is the rest of that sequence of commands correct? I'd rather copy the syslog if I can.

    ok I jumped in a did it anyway, all looks good, copied all 1.7 GB with:
    cp /var/log/syslog /c/backup/
    
    then did:
    echo "" > /var/log/syslog
    
    So last question, how to I cleanly unmount everything before rebooting (and do I need to initiate the reboot from the telnet prompt)?
    
    Thanks.
