Ok so the circumstances of the raid-5 array failing were odd -- related to an MCE caused by an issue with the chipset... After recovering the array, I find large sections of useful data.. but the filesystems are junk! I am using ext3 on top of LVM2 on top of software raid-5... Can anyone point me to programs that can assist me in recovering my data? All that comes to my mind is ext3grep. I have yet to write anything, and I find it odd that the superblocks and journals of all 7 logical volumes are messed up. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
