Hi. I'm in URGENT need of some help.
After changing motherboards in one of my boxes to a Via VB601, I forgot to
disable the UDMA setting in the bios. This is needed because this mobo,
my Seagate 6.5Gb drives, and UDMA don't mix.
The result was the kernel segfaulted/panicked after fscking /dev/md0 and
/dev/md1 with lots of errors.
I realised what had happened, changed the BIOS settings to working ones,
and tried rebooting. It fsck'd /dev/md0 with lots of errors then fell out
of init to a shell. Running "e2fsck /dev/md1" results in:
e2fsck 1.18, 11-nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while
trying to open /dev/md1
Could this be a zero-length partition?
/dev/md1 is not mounted, but it is properly set up in /etc/raidtab
raidstart /dev/md1 produeces no error message, but fails to do anything.
Any ideas anyone? I *REALLY* need this data... even some suggestion of
how I can recover as much as possible to another block device would be
well received...
