Hi folks, I actually managed to find a message in an old forum somewhere
about a corrupt /etc/mtab file and how to fix it: cat /proc/mounts >
/etc/mtab, but when I tried it I was informed that the filesystem was read
only.
Further checks revealed lots of disk channel errors being logged so I guess
the hard disk may be on the way out after all. I'll be on site with a spare
tomorrow.

Subject: Disk problem has stopped 'df' from working
Hi folks, probably not CentOS specific but any help appreciated:
One of our CentOS4 servers crashed and when checked there was a disk problem
which turned out to be a faulty SATA cable on one of the RAID 1 drives. This
was sorted and the server brought back up after the usual disk checks and
all has been well for the last week. Today, however, I tried 'df -h' and
got:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
df: `': No such file or directory
I can't recall whether I tried the command just after the server was
restarted (ie: whether this is a new problem) but any pointers towards
possible causes/fixes would be appreciated.
Thanks
