mount file sytem error

[harpal]

hi,

getting the following error when trying to mount a file system.

mount: 0506-324 Cannot mount /dev/lv02 on /m1: The media is not formatted or the format is not correct.
0506-342 The superblock on /dev/lv02 is dirty. Run a full fsck to fix.

my question is will a fsck fix the issue and how long does this take.

Cheers

Harps

The only way to answer either of those questions would be to run it.

I had the same error on one of my filesystems after a logform to the loglv of that filesystem.

the fsck took about 5 minutes to finish where I answred 'Y' to all questions.
After fsck the filesystem mounted without any problem but some of my temporary folders were lost.
to run fsck
fsck /dev/lv02
