<DIV>Not familiar with scsi raid but it is raid 1 (miror) so the same information should be on both. Can you separate the drives and force a copy with dd onto another disk for safegard, maybe try to work on the copy and not the original drive.</DIV>
<DIV>What is nice about ext3 is that you can mount it as ext2 without problem, i do it with Tombs rootBoot disquette or any linux distro.</DIV>
<DIV>There are commands to rebuild the journaling system but i dont have them on hand, i will be back later with this info.</DIV>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">Hello,<BR><BR>Question - I have a FC3 ltsp server (k12ltsp) that, after a reboot,<BR>won't boot up. It is a hardware SCSI RAID 1 on two SCSI drives. Upon<BR>rebooting, it drops me into a Grub prompt. When I boot up in knoppix,<BR>I can see 2 scsi drives, but trying to mount them fails. When I check<BR>dmesg, I see the error ext3-fs group descriptors corrupted. So it<BR>seems it be an issue where the bootup sequence cannot find init. I'm<BR>not sure how to proceed from here though. I'm weary of running fsck on<BR>the drive since I've known that to completely trash the drive data,<BR>but I'm not sure if installing grub from the prompt will be the right<BR>solution.<BR><BR>Wisdom?<BR><BR>thanks.<BR>Joseph<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>K12OSN mailing list<BR>K12OSN@redhat.com<BR><A href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</A><BR>For more info see <<A href="http://www.k12os.org">http://www.k12os.org</A>><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
