Hi, We have software raid level 5 using 6 IDE disks amounting to about 500Gb. Its an ext3 filesystem which is NFS exported to a number of other machines. Recently, after running /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop /etc/init.d/nfs-common stop /etc/init.d/nfs-common start /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start the whole raid array is gone. The file system is consistent and is the right size but no directories! Running fsck on it just comes back ok. Should I try a later e2fsck which can handle ext3. Has the journal inode been deleted? SHould I try and remount as an ext2 system and rerun fsck? ANy ideas? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shashi Kanbur shashi@fcrao1.astro.umass.edu Five College Astronomy Department, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003 USA (413) 577 0470 (413) 545 4223 (Fax) _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
