@Terrance If its active I just skip the step to make it active right? $ sudo lvm lvscan ACTIVE '/dev/ubuntu-studio-vg/root' [<923.08 GiB] inherit ACTIVE '/dev/ubuntu-studio-vg/swap_1' [7.95 GiB] inherit — Pufferfish, Dec 10 '19 at 04:51
@Terrance is this okay? im not deleting files right? Entry '08F8748DF1900A51196D40DB4B11DD7F4F28D12C' in /home/spoons/.cache/mozilla/firefox/c60y3wmz.default/cache2/entries (30408818) has deleted/unused inode 30440874. Clear? — Pufferfish, Dec 10 '19 at 04:58
@Terrance okay, does this mean if i reboot it will work?/dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio--vg-root: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio--vg-root: 419966/60497920 files (1.4% non-contiguous), 22454901/241979392 blocks — Pufferfish, Dec 10 '19 at 05:02
You're welcome! If it worked, we should remove all of these comments. Then for procedural purposes since that answer helped, your question should be closed as a duplicate, but that is OK to help others if they experience the same thing you did. — Terrance, Dec 10 '19 at 05:20
Does this answer your question? Trying to repair LVM disk with fsck — Terrance, Dec 10 '19 at 18:04
Welcome to AskUbuntu! It sounds like your issue was related to the called duplicate by @Terrance but it's hard to tell by your question. [edit]ing the output of mount -l into your post should make that clearer. — Elder Geek, Dec 11 '19 at 21:54
