Dear All, Let me introduce my self, my name is Hendri, i'm application administrator at www.6221.net.I find your email from the source code, i try to solve my self but it seems i must contact you personally to ask your help about my problem.That Problem are :I had installed RH 6.2 on IBM Netfinity 5100, it seems ok for 1 year till today, the partition doesn't Work, i have 6 partition that doesnt alive.4 partition contain about Oracle Data, and 3 2 more is /usr partition(From Now On, i think its a very Bad Idea to locate RAID 5 to /usr :(( )then i discovered /dev/md1 - /dev/md6 won't work, and the error message on /proc/mdstat wont show up.i can "reconfigure" at all, what should i do for saving all those data, because i dont have any backup the md modules already loaded, because some partition, for example md0 is up and can be mounted as /, and /proc/mdstat show some information that inform any partition that already sucess to load, such as / -> md0, /home -> md9 beside that, mdx partition doesnt show any information. Could i recover that partition (which doesnt alive?)?
