Hi all,
I need help with a raid5 array, that does not start. System has booted in maintenance mode, prompt says "repair filesystem".
There are 3 raid5 arrays, one of them is not coming up. It is a data volume, used for backups.
Messages after boot is as follows:
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 alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
When I do cat /proc/mdstat it says /dev/md0 is inactive. How can I activate it, and read/repair fs??

No, it is not possible. MD RAID does not work well and honestly shouldn't be used even for testing. -- Med Vennlig Hilsen, A. Helge Joakimsen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
