I understand if I boot from a live cd I can see all the system logs under System > Administration > File Log Viewer
I have a major error with a disk not mounting and I want to trace i tback to the last time it did work and what may have corrupted the ext4 filesystem on it.
So within the File Log Viewer Where do I start examining?
cd /var/log/
and do agrep -R mount *
(assuming you want to see all lines that contain mount).
