Oops, again, sorry for the email issues, I'm having trouble getting gmail to play right. So now that I have a synced raid6, I'm looking at this problem of the filesystem having been partially or fully corrupted, which happened after a few components were ddrescued onto other components and force assembled. Is this something you might expect to happen in that scenario? mount /dev/md0 /media/vault http://pastie.org/8042532 I do have a backup, so if it comes down to it, I can just make a new filesystem and restore that way. However the backup is not 100% complete, so if possible id like to get the file system back, even with errors, to supplement the missing part of the backup. Is there any reason not to run "e2fsck -y /dev/md0"?
