[05:10] <lafleurdubien> Can anybody explain how to get files off of a corrupted LVM partition?
[05:10] <lafleurdubien> Two drives, each one with a containing a single LVM partition. The system they were in previously is no longer bootable. Both drives appear to be corrupted and I'm unable to successfully mount them on another Linux box. Is there any way to get the files from it?!
[05:20] <randall> lafleurdubien, it can be done, but if it wasn't lvm it would juat need a chmod, since it is lf it's more complicated
[05:23] <randall> I did it once, but I had to google it
[05:34] <lafleurdubien> I've been googling for a while and I can't seem to get anywhere. Do you  know what command you were using or what resource you referenced??
[09:41] <hagu> Hi, there is a file called "Swapiness" on my Desktop. I think I havenÄt put it there. Is there any reason for it to be there?
[09:42] <hagu> ..a plain text doc with no content
[09:59] <alkisg> hagu: right click on it and see when it was created

[10:00] <hagu> I didn't try to change swappiness on this machine (just installed ubuntu mate)
[10:01] <hagu> Indeed it was created yesterday night after I set up the system
[10:01] <hagu> No harm in deleting it?
[10:01] <hagu> ...swappiness will be unchanged after deleting it?
[10:02] <alkisg> Sure
[10:02] <alkisg> system files never go into user's desktops
[10:03] <nomic> Swappiness is the kernel parameter that defines how much (and how often) your Linux kernel will copy RAM contents to swap. This parameter's default va...
[10:03] <nomic> something to do with swap?
[10:03] <alkisg> swappiness does have to do with swap, but a user created file called "swappiness" has nothing to do with it
[10:03] <alkisg> It's just an empty file in his desktop
