Hi,

I have been using Openfiler iSCIS server and have experienced a corrupt volume and am unable to mount it. The data on there is really vauluable but I cant seem to get it iff.

I have tried several things including:

[root@localhost log]# mount -t ext3 /dev/dm-0 /media/test/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dm-0,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

The error I get in /var/logs/messages is:
Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev dm-0.

dm-0 being the volume as seem from fdisk -l. It os 500 GB and full right up.

Question is how can I mount it, is it totally not happening?
 
If the data on there is really vauluable, you should go for an professional recovery service, since your attemps to rescue something may destroy more and more of it.

If you cannot pay the price, you might consider experimenting, maybee with dd. I can't recommend it.
