This may be completely off-track but I've seen it cause wierd problems
in the past, so worth checking - was the directory you were in when the
machine crashed one that still existed as far as the file system was
concerned?

To test this, try the following...

# cd /tmp
# mkdir X
# cd X
# mv ../X ../Y
# cd `pwd`
bash: /tmp/X: No such file or directory
#

...and then perform the test. As far as the test is concerned, the
current directory is /tmp/X but, as shown above, the file system reports
that the said directory doesn't exist, and it's not hard to work out
that you're actually in /tmp/Y instead.

Best wishes from Riley.

Im fairly sure it is still there because I didn't made any
change in the filesystem (in terms of mv rm etc.) but
I will give it a try later since Im not close to the box
right now and a possible crash from remote is not really
a good idea ;)

Hi Riley,
here are the results:


trider-g7:/tmp# mkdir X
trider-g7:/tmp# cd X
trider-g7:/tmp/X# mv ../X ../Y
trider-g7:/tmp/X# cd `pwd`
bash: cd: /tmp/X: No such file or directory
trider-g7:/tmp/X# lvcreate -L10M -ntest system
lvcreate -- rounding size up to physical extent boundary
lvcreate -- doing automatic backup of "system"
lvcreate -- logical volume "/dev/system/test" successfully created

trider-g7:/tmp/X#

as you can see there was no problem at all "unfortunatly".

Regards
Fabio
