    Problem in mounting 'LogVol00' while booting ?

    Hi,

    I reduced my size of "LogVol00" by "lvreduce -L" command. Then i tried to reboot for mounting. But i am getting error as below. please help me in this, i don't have data in "LogVol00". but i don't want to reinstall OS.

    error i am getting when i boot:

    "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad Superblock of /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

    Missing codepage or helper program, or other error

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Reducing the volume size just reduces the virtual partition size, not the file system size. You will need to run fsck with the volume unmounted to fix this up.
