Uhm, no. the machine I am talking about now has the hardware repaired, by putting in a new raid kit. Moving it to another server (I don't have another 2850, I have a few more 2950's though)( would make much sense I think. The filesystem is 'corrupted' so moving the disks doesn't help much there? > Do you have one with enough spare capacity to store a complete disk > image of the system you are trying to recover? > Hmm, I'd have to look.

(that if I break it, I still have the broken stuff I started with?) > _______________________________________________ > Linux-PowerEdge mailing list > Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com > https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge > Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq > _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
