[SLUG] Filesystem help for a non-expert
Hello, Is anyone able to recommend some resources (online or print) that might help me understand the Linux filesystem a bit better. I have been through about six books so far and it is still a mystery to me. I've been having trouble with at least two of the hard drives in my server and there seems to be further trouble with the RAID system that is in place. I'd like to be able to run some diagnostic checks and if possible, repair the problematic disks but I'm worried that unmounting the disks will cause the whole system to fail (my previous attempts ended that way). Thank you, Grant Bailey -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] Filesystem help for a non-expert
Hi Grant, Are you talking about the EXT filesystem? Also, when you say your previous attempt at unmounting the disks caused the system to fail. Do you mean it simply crashed, or do you mean there was a catastrophic loss of data? And what kinds of troubles have you been having with the two disks and the RAID?
