Thanks for lending a hand Mike and Axalon, I do appreciate it.
I tried everything I could find in the list archives yesterday to no
avail, being an impatient sod, I reinstalled which of course solved my
problem.
Having said that, I would still like to learn what I need do to avoid
the reinstall in the future.
You were indeed correct Axalon it was running xfs.
I tried checking the "xfs" status yesterday and it returned the
following for "status"
xfs dead but subsys locked
I had no idea what this meant or where to try next so I did the
reinstall.
I tired stopping xfs and restarting but always had the same error
message.
What can one do if xfs decides to "die" again?
Is there a way to remove the dead xfs and replace it with a living
version?
Thanks folks.
