I have an ext3 filesystem that is out of wack. Of course people could not access the NARR directory. I have umounted it at he moment. I can either just remount it, or run fsck on it, which will take a while since it is 6 TB. Any suggestions? Thanks.

From my relatively little experience, I would run fsck after hours and come in early the next day. Do the logs show anything pertinent?

I'd try remount first... if it's still a problem run an fsck in the evening, like notsure stated.

It was in a strange state. The RAID, as it turns out, is connected through a switch. I am new here, so I don't know the layout. There are a lot of servers, workstations, and users, using some form of Redhat. I comment out the mount point, which in fact was a logical volume, and rebooted the system. Luckily someone remembered it only worked on an old version of the kernel. When it came up, I did an fsck and it said it was recovering the journel, and then said it was clean. After that I mount it. Of course it was exported all over the place, so there were lots of stale nfs mount points, So in short, it is fixed. Thanks.
