Right, if you can't unmount there are several options ... we have a rescue mode on CD-1, the DVD, or the Single Server CD ... also we have the live CD. The OS you boot to needs LVM2 and all the EXT3 tools ... personally I recommend the LiveCD ... that was one of it's main purposes. It is much more full featured than the rescue mode on the other CDs. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
