Problems with Booting “red hat”. disk volumes issue

Question

I recently installed the Red Hat 6 OS on HP proliant server. This server has 8 1TB drives. I created two volumes RAID 5 each having four hard drives (and 2.7TB). On one of the volumes, I installed the operating system while creating three logical volumes (the swap 8GB, 50GB of the root mounted on "/" and 2.6TB of home mounted on "/ home"). With the other volume, I created a logical volume of 2.7TB and I mounted it on "/données". Everything seemed to work until I rebooted my server this morning and I got the following errors :

  Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise linux Server

so, the shell appears. even if I run the "startx" command, it doesn't work:

on the other hand the "df" command that displayed all my discs only displays the root disk 50GB

@DaveM After you've seen enough broken systems, you'll recognize those particular errors in any language. — Michael Hampton, Aug 14 '15 at 18:49

The shell prompt you received is not a normal system prompt; it's intended for you to fix the problems that prevented a normal boot.

So let us look at the problems.

First, there was an important clue:

Primary GPT is invalid, using alternate GPT.

This strongly suggests to me that something has overwritten the start of the virtual disk. One of the tools parted or testdisk ought to be able to fix this, once you get the rest of the system up.

For the data partition, I think maybe you have simply made a typo somewhere. See this error:

fsck.ext4: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type lors de la tentative d'ouverture de /dev/mapper/vg_donnees-LogVo100

(in English:)

fsck.ext4: No such file or directory while trying to open de /dev/mapper/vg_donnees-LogVo100

Your LV name specified here seems to be LogVo100, but typically this would have been created as LogVol00. Notice the difference between the number one (incorrect) and the lowercase l (correct). You should be able to correct this in /etc/fstab, and that ought to resolve that problem.
