Re: ext3 lvm disk Journal has aborted

a staggered into the Black Sun and said:
The lvm file system looks corrupt.

? Did you mean "The lvm2 metadata has been corrupted"? Or did you mean
"The filesystem on an LV has been corrupted"?

I [made] the file system [with] mkfs -j. How come the system will see
it as ext2?

All ext3 filesystems are also ext2 and can be mounted and used as ext2
without problems. Backwards combatability, y'know.

faz2 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device dm-2) in start_transaction: Journal
has aborted

There's something wrong with device 2 in device-mapper. This device
node is probably an LV. /dev/mapper/vg-usr on my system has major,minor
253,2 , so if I saw this sort of problem, the first thing I'd do is
umount and e2fsck /dev/mapper/vg-usr .

pvdisplay
PV Name /dev/sdb1
[snip]
fsck -t ext3 /dev/sdb1

Why are you fscking a PV? PVs don't contain filesystems. LVs do. You
should read and understand the LVM HOWTO before proceeding.
