Matt,
Thanks, this is great! I have high hopes I can fix this now.

I think this is an issue with my upgrade to Gutsy, but I am not sure.1
Whenever I boot the system drops me into a subshell and then tells me
I need to fsck. I've booted using the live CD, then installed lvm2
and run the series of commands to mount as an lvm partition, and then
run fsck and there were no errors. If I enter "halt" the subshell
exits and things are generally normal, except that I always have to
run "sudo hostname arrail" to reset the hostname, then log out and log
back in.
I suspect this is an issue with my /etc/fstab file as it does not look
the same as other machines I have that also have lvm partitions. One
note: I had /dev/sda2 mapped to a USB disk (ipod, commented out
below), and I wonder if that confused the upgrade system as the
machine thinks my /dev/hda is /dev/sda, and sda2 is my main disk
partition. Perhaps it wanted to create a UUID mapping, but saw a
conflict between those disks and just aborted leaving me with a weird
fstab?
This is my fstab:
cdawson@arrail:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/vg-root / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0
# /dev/hda1 -- converted during upgrade to edgy/home/cdawson/piab

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
#/dev/sda2 /media/ipod auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
192.168.2.8:/mnt/windows-box-fs /mnt/windows-box-fs nfs noauto 0 0
Should it not be that I have two drives with UUID's? How does the
system know that something is corrupted on boot if an lvm partition is
not recognized at that point in the boot process?
Here is what I get when I run df:
cdawson@arrail:~$ df

Roughly the same thing happened to me when I upgraded to Gutsy, and I
see at least one other message on the list, from Robert Fitzpatrick,
with a similar problem.
In my case, this is fstab after I upgraded:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hdc3
UUID=562997ca-faa8-45bf-aca9-975ce010bb0e / ext3
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/hdc1
UUID=C8C82629C826166A /media/hdc1 ntfs
defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
# /dev/sda1
UUID=ee7a0a32-cf2d-4300-a4f5-52e24c8f62df /opt ext3 defaults
0 2
# /dev/hdc2
UUID=21bf1e1a-ce19-4354-a4bf-e56539a0e8c6 none swap sw
0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda2 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
When I booted with that fstab, my /home and /opt would not be mounted,
since they're actually on /dev/sdb, which isn't even mentioned here
(and I guess the UUIDs are wrong). I'd get dumped to single-user mode
with the request to fsck; I didn't really have to, though, I just had
to mount home and then 'exit.'
I changed fstab to
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hdc3
UUID=562997ca-faa8-45bf-aca9-975ce010bb0e / ext3
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/hdc1
UUID=C8C82629C826166A /media/hdc1 ntfs
defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
# /dev/hdc2
UUID=21bf1e1a-ce19-4354-a4bf-e56539a0e8c6 none swap sw
0 0
/dev/sdb1 /opt ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sdb2 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
and now it works fine. Basically it looks like there are some
conditions in which the gutsy upgrade gets fstab wrong.
