First of all... you shouldn't give root permissions to programmers!
I'm not a guru, but:
How are you trying to mount the filesystem?
i've tried mount -o remount,rw /
is a hardware raid or a software one? ide or scsi drives?
Two IDE, software RAID
I supose you have solved the hardware problems, right?

Hi,
My nightmare : one of our programmers accidently has "chown (as root) * -R". Hardware problems shuted down the box during the night and this morning the machine won't boot. I had tried several things :
1. normal reboot does an normal fs repair, then it hangs on "unable to mount /proc - only root can do that". The next reboot will eventually pass this phase but will stop on "init : runlevel 6 respawn too fast disabling for 5 minztes" and again and again.
2. boot in rescue mode - can't mount file system, anywhere (i figured now that HD devices are in RAID mode).
What should i do. I am not that experienced with RAID and although i can handle an rescue environement this situation is above my skill i fear.
Help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Miguel
