How To fsck LVM Volume

[jamoody]

I receive Unexpected Inconsistency error on fsck of /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 during boot and boot halts. I use a recovery CD to boot and then try to run fsck on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 but it returns an error that it can't find VolGroup00-LogVol00.

I finally got the system booted by removing the fsck option in fstab ((1 1 -> 0 0) . I know, not the safest thing to do, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get the system back up again. System seems to be running fine; I can't even hear the time bomb ticking from here :-)

Can anybody suggest an incantation to fsck VolGroup00-LogV00? I'm very much an LVM dummy. Thanks.

Scroll down to the LVM section =)
