Dear all,
When I was starting the system in rescue mode, It was showing that

"You don't have any Linux partition. Press return to get a shell. The system will reboot automatically when you exit from the shell." My problem is that when system is not mounting on /mnt/sysimage, and root is not found, how can I take backup of data? Except mounting on /mnt/sysimage, any option to mount / for taking backup of data?
Please tell me shortly.
Regards
Amit.

Hello,


This may be related to a bad hard drive.
Your best bet in My Humble Opinion is to attempt to recover the data from the drive with another machine. I have had this issue before where /mnt/sysimage would not boot in recovery mode as well as the system in init level3 or 5.

I was able to put the drive into another linux system and mount it. After mounting I was able to retrieve the data.

Not sure if this is what you are after,

Jaysunn

Thank you for your kind reply.

I applied what you said but invain. When I was mounting the hard disk in other machine, It was showing the error "file system type not found". In that hard disk lvm was created and mounted on /root. I renamed the logical volume. When I run the command e2lable /dev/sda, It wan not finding /root .
Please tell me what is cause and solution.

With warm regards.
Amit.

Bad partitions, sector and much more can cause problem. Restore data from backup. You've working backup, don't you? If you do not have backup try the following software to recover the data:
