Raid and lvm devices dont needspecific services to run, just the
device mapper drivers, which are loaded in the maintenance mode.

I know services dont run in maintenance mode, and that's why I'm
asking. My
thought was, without the md driver loaded, the OS isn't going to be
able to
understand how to work with /dev/md0, so you may need to load the
driver
first before fsck will be able to read the device.

I believe its LVM over RAID, but I will have to look and get back

you.
When I created the RAID array, I assigned all the disks the
software RAID
and then created the RAID 5 during the installation. I did not go
through
and split the partitions afterwards.
When I run fsck I get this error...
fsck.ext3: Invalid argument while trying to open /dev/md0
/dev/md0:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the
superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternative
superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
I then try e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/md0 and get the same error message.

5.
I know this is a silly question, but is the md driver loaded and
are
the
md
services running?
Services are not loaded when in maintenance mode. The server
does not
even
mount the file systems because you cannot run FSCK on a mounted
device.

When I tried booting it into single user mode the server would
still
go
to
maintenance mode. I was able to get at it another way by
passing
"init=/bin/bash" which got me to a command prompt. Then
remounted
the
drive
with rw since it was in ro mode, and then changed the password.
Now
I
have
it in maintenance mode again, I just need to figure out how to
do
an
fsck
on
a raid system. When I try fsck /dev/md0 I got a bad super block
error
and
to run e2fsck -b 8192 which gives me the same error message.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

configuration.
I would be very cautious about interrupting an fsck. If you
reboot
your
machine and press a key to bring up the grub menu, then type
'e'
to
edit
that kernel entry, move to the kernel line, hit 'a' to
append ..
place
an
's' at the end of the line and hit enter and then 'b' to boot
you
will
boot
without the root password into single user mode.
