Hi all,
 
I have a new centos box with a boot partition and a large raid array of
over 3TB.
 
there is nothing on the raid array and I don't mind blowing it away and
starting again.
 
However when I boot I get an error saying there is a problem with /data
(which is the raid array).
Control+D to reboot or root passwd to login.
 
When I login with root I cannot repair the disk with fsck or e2fsck. I
don't really care if I can blow it away and start again.
 
When I login I cannot edit fstab as it's a read only file system.
I was going to edit out LABEL=/data etc and try to format the disk etc.
from withing centos.
 
But I cannot get there...
I've tried knoppix but it does not seem to like anything in the TB size
range using gparted...
 
Any pointers on what I should do next?
(I'm also googling...)
 
 
 
Thanks,
Ben Donohue
