<div>Partly solved, </div>
<div>how - I do not know, </div>
<div>todo 1. confirm files are OK, 2. scan for badblocks, and 3 strengthen firewall </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I tried to boot using knoppix 3.9 - it does not support LVM,</div>
<div>Then boot to init 1 from grub prompt, and </div>
<div># mount </div>
<div> >> found list correct</div>
<div># pvscan</div>
<div> >> listed the structure correctly.</div>
<div># lvscan</div>
<div> >> listed the volumes correctly</div>
<div># cd<br># ls ! walked up one directory at a time ls , ls -l </div>
<div> I could see the files and corruption gone therefore</div>
<div># exit ! from init 1, and system goes to normal boot and user login is OK.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here, I checked for further corrupted files by checking size of directories. nothing unusual found. Surely, there is better way to check filesystem, hope I am able to find, but if someone knows, please tell.. <br> </div>
