Disc failure on a software RAID system has killed everything

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks,

I've got a PC with 5x500GB HDD's running software raid.  On drive 0 and 1 I 
had RAID0 for the boot partition and then on all 5 drives I had RAID 5 for 
everything else.

One of the first two drives has died causing the PC to hang, and then when I 
rebooted it couldn't get past GRUB.  I have found out which drive it is and 
disconnected it. It then got past GRUB, loaded the kernel which then paniced 
and hung.

I have tried booting using a FC11 install DVD (I believe the dead PC is either 
FC9 or FC10) and going into rescue mode but it says that there are no Linux 
partitions and doesn't go any further.

Going into fdisk for each drive (with the dead one still disconnected) shows 
the partition tables.

in theory, this system should still be bootable, can anyone suggest things to 
try to get it working again.

Thanks
