1. Start the system with the rescue
CD
2. Login with root (no password needed)
3. Mount the / partition.
mount /dev/sdc3 /mnt mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/boot
4. Give the command: mount -o bind /dev
/mnt/dev 5. Give the command: mount -o bind /proc
/mnt/proc 6. Give the command: mount -o bind /sys
/mnt/sys 7. Give the command: chroot
/mnt --> you could get some
errors (e.g. regarding yast). Ignore these errors. 8. Give the command: mount -av 9. The LVM partitions should be
available
Or
mount /dev/disk/by-id/md-lg1-lv1 /garlic
mount /dev/disk/by-id/md-lg1-lv0 /backup
You have now completely reconstructed your SUSE environment. So, if you use a command
such as PASSWD, the new password is written to the right /etc/shadow
file ( the file on your server's hard drive and not the one on your
rescue system). All other commands you may wish to use for maintenance
will work as well at this point because they'll be able to work on all
the original files on your server's hard drive. Once finished, just
reboot to start your server as you usually do.
