You could just create the home directory on the root partition. You would have to copy any keys back. Then just remove the line in fstab for that volume.
-
THis is hardware RAID, but lsblk is showing individual drives coming from the controller. So it looks like the controller has potentially failed?
-
@scottalanmiller Other VM's are fine

They're VHDs

How did this corrupt then, no battery?

I'm also assuming this VM is running on a XenServer since the disks are xvda and xvdb.
-
@scottalanmiller Prob not. I'm not sure though

Correct

Ya while it's not a great idea IMO to put all of the data on the root file system (and span two disks like that), you can just create a home directory for your user and continue on. Just remove the mount line in fstab.

Aren't we looking at the raw devices,before LVM? How are the underlying devices showing up as 3.9TB when they are limited to 2TB. Those are the "physical" partitions on the VHDs.

It looks like a volume group spanned over two VHDs. XebServer has a 2TB limit for disks so he spanned the volume over two disks to get 4TB.

@scottalanmiller Isn't this a combination of xvda2 and xvdb?

Yeah, I get that. But shouldn't lsblk show us the underlying devices before the span?

Is lsblk taking the LVM data and applying it from the upper level?

It does. But you can see /dev/mapper/plex-root is where 3.9TB is. xvda and xvdb only have 2 TB.

Gotcha, okay.

So now the question is how to properly set up a home directory from scratch. Doesn't seem like I can just
mkdirit -

You might just be able to log in as your normal user and it will do it automatically. If not just create a directory with your username under /home and chown it to your ID. Don't forget SELinux labels.

Interesting. if I
mkdir /homeit says file exists. Icdinto it and there is nothing there.
