This HowTo shows the steps one can used to recreate a corrupt "grub" boot loader and/or MBR on an NST system. Start by booting up "NST Live" or "NST" on a "USB Flash Drive".

  • 1) Make sure there is not a mount using the "/boot" mount point:
[root@probe ~]# df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_probe-lv_root
                     235338552   4335136 228613664   2% /
/dev/sdb1               198337     22358    165739  12% /boot
tmpfs                  1419416         0   1419416   0% /dev/shm
[root@probe ~]#


  • 2) Unmount "/boot" if currently mounted:
[root@probe ~]# umount -v /boot
/dev/sdb1 umounted
[root@probe ~]#
