Greetings,
During a recent reboot, my RHEL 5.3 server (2.6.18-128.1.6.el5)
came up with a corrupted root partition. I've got LVM installed, with root,
/var, /usr/local, /home, /opt and /opt/oradata as logical volumes. Only the
root LVM had corruption issues.
I am able to boot the server, but I seem to be missing a lot of
library files and misc files in /etc seem to be altered.
While I know a full reinstall is probably the best bet, it's
also going to take the longest and I'm being rushed to get this server back
into service.
The server was installed as a 5.2 server and then patched to
the current level, so I don't have boot media for the current level.
What I was thinking was doing a reinstall to the latest 5.4
release using the existing partitions. Do you think my oracle install will
survive this? That's the main thing I'm trying to save.
Any thoughts and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
