I have set up on lm8.2 a five scsi software raid. The machine crashed and hung at boot-up at the clearing kernal space.
googled everywhere and got nowhere So i did a fresh install keeping /home and another storage partition during the install. When i rebooted, i installed raid tools and mounted the original raid5 using harddrake. It mounted no problem,added it back into fstab and automaticallydid a raid rysync which took about an hour, all my original files where intact, apart from a few id numbers instead of usernames and groups, which i changed to default groups and usernames. But when i did a reboot, i get an error saying the the /dev/md0 is not a valid ext2 or the superblock is corrupt. It asks if i want to correct this error with possible data lis, so i say yes, it says error in red and then bombs into optoins for a reboot ( which gets me back to where it gives me the option to reboot ) or into rescue mode which does'nt include vi to edit my fstab file :o( Anyway, if i boot with knoppix and remove /dev/md0 from the fstab file, i can boot into linux, if i run harddrake again, i can mount the raid with no problems and get access to my files, but if i reboot it says theres a problem. Can anybody advise me where to go from here. Ken
