Because of this message: fsck.ext4: No such file or directory while trying to 
open /dev/vg/root
/dev/vg/root: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct 
ext2 filesystem ... at the end of this message i am told to run e2fsck -b 
8193 <device>

I just booted into a rescue cd and run e2fsck /dev/vg/root.
surprisingly it said: /dev/vg/root: clean
