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
