Is it possible that the persistant superblock is my issue? I looks like the concat only sees the bottom metadevice? Chris The device I mount is /dev/md2. The error I get is: Parallelizing fsck version 1.23 (15-Aug-2001) e2fsck 1.23, 15-Aug-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 177781408 blocks The physical size of the device is 88890720 blocks Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! Abort<y>? no md2 contains a file system with errors, check forced. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Error reading block 88899630 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while doing inode scan. Ignore error<y>? yes Error reading block 88899631 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while doing inode scan.
