Try the --ignorelockingfailure argument.
I am not familiar with that and 'man lvdisplay' does not show it as an option. Google for that turns up more results. Is it used with e2fsck, I dont see it there either.
It's an option for most LVM commands. Do a "man lvdisplay" and look in the SYNOPSIS section. Apparently most options lvdisplay understands aren't actually listed in the OPTIONS section.
Thanks.
It does list out the volume information, what else should it do?
what does lvm lvscan says, are they active? if not, run "vgchange -a y VolGroup-1" to activate them (temporary only, while using that DVD/LiveDVD). it should activate that Volume Group and all Logical Volumes in it. Now you can scan it wit fsck
Then you may need to mount it in some created folder (mkdir -p /sysimage/LogVol00; mount /dev/VolGroup-1/LogVol00 /sysimage/LogVol00).
Check if your system had any updates (kernel in particular) between reboots. Maybe something gone bad.
