Hello,
I do not understand what did happen. I have a logical partition whose the hierarchy seems to have disappeared. Here is the result of testdisk: Disk /dev/mapper/VG1-home - 9663 MB / 9216 MiB - CHS 18874368 1 1
The harddisk (9663 MB / 9216 MiB) seems too small! (< 9698 MB / 9249 MiB) Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...
The following partitions can't be recovered: Partition Start End Size in sectors Linux 924 18875291 18874368 Linux 1824 18876191 18874368 Linux 2416 18876783 18874368 Linux 2934 18877301 18874368 Linux 3558 18877925 18874368 Linux 4090 18878457 18874368 Linux 4638 18879005 18874368 Linux 5356 18879723 18874368 Linux 5862 18880229 18874368 Linux 6598 18880965 18874368
When I mount it is just empty. Before I made a restorecon -R -v /home In addition, before the partition was visible from one system (fedora 10) but not from another fedora 10. I also notice that when every thing was OK it was mounted as /dev/dm-6/home and not as it was supposed to be: /dev/VG1/home. I have done something wrong but I cannot understand what ! While the geometry would have change ? I also run a fixfile.
The other strange thing is also that only this partition became wrong. while the mounting by using dm-x was for all the partition while it was supposed to be /dev/VG1.
I can recover the partition because there is a backup but I would like to understand !
Thank.

It sounds as though Fedora thinks it's part of a RAID. What happens now when you mount it as /dev/dm-6/home? Also, you do realize, don't you, that F 10 is several years past EOL? What happens when you mount it on a more recent version of Fedora?

Yes. I tried to move to fedora 11 12 and 13, unfortunately it fails at the last step so, I had to restart and try the get the fedora 10 in good shape !!!!

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Did you try upgrading to F 13 in one, big jump? If so, that's a good way to mess things up. If possible, try going to F 11 and making sure it works. If so, go to F 12 and, eventually, F 13. One step at a time is slower, but far safer. If that's not what you did, how did you try to upgrade and how did it fail? The answers might tell somebody here enough to suggest a fix for your difficulty.

This what I did. Every thing seems OK when I started to update from 12

So what you have now is F 12, not F 10? Just to be sure, please post the results of uname -r so that we know just how far your upgrading got and can give appropriate suggestions.

Right now, I have fedora 10 (backup), fedora11 (upgrade in progress) and fedora 13 (use for resue).

Is the upgrade from Fedora 11 to 12 going on right now, or can you use that system? If you can use it, please post the results of uname -r so that we know just what version of Fedora you're actually using.
