I believe that I made a boo boo recently when recovering some unused disk space. Without going into painfully embarrassing detail I need to delete an entry in fstab for a now non-existent logical volume.
The system reports that the there is a bad superblock for said logical volume. Mainly I expect because there isn't one anymore. How do I edit fstab so as to remove the mount request? For some reason the system will not boot from the cdrom and the I for interactive option is just blown by when the HDD boot starts.
Can you have some other rescue device besides the CD then, can you boot to USB and create a rescue disk image onto USB and then go and edit it?
Or pull the disk out if you have to and mount it on another system?
