Hi All, Long story here but I'll just give the current sypmtoms for the time being. I have 4x160GB (hde to hdh) disks, RAID5. Volume manager on top of that. System disk (/,usr,var,boot,swap) on hda. OS is Fedora Core2. System died in a big lock up. Now, when booting it hangs after announcing "Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode". The OK prompt for this action is never displayed. The system is locked up. Booting FC2 disk1 as rescue disk I can mount the volumes on the raid but after a short while 10-20s or as soon as I try to browse into the directories the system hangs. Booting the rescue CD but not starting md0 is fine. Start it with raidstart and (after the few seconds) it hangs. It looks to me as if this is one well corrupted RAID5. Any suggestions of how this can be fixed or at least kept alive long enough to get some data off (possibly by not starting the reconstruction - forgot to say the raid is dirty).
