Thanks for the URL. I'd love to run a SMART analysis, but apparently
smartctl doesn't support SATA drives. At least the version that
comes with CentOS doesn't (I haven't tried to rebuild it from sources
- yet)!
I tried accessing the drive from the CentOS LiveCD, and wasn't
successful. There are two partitions on the drive, one for /boot,
and the rest of the disk is managed by LVM. I was able to mount the /
boot partition, but I couldn't read the grub directory due to
apparent corruption (that's a bad sign right there). But maybe I can
recover some of the data from the rest of the disk. How do I mount
the logical partitions managed by LVM from the command line? I
haven't had a chance to google for this/read the man page, so if
someone has a quick synopsis handy, I would really appreciate it.
