RAID I failure
Crazy, but I unplugged a harddrive by 'accident' and replugged it in. On unclean shutdown and upon restarting, one of the hard drives went critical. I deleted and rebuild the array, which showed functional upon reboot.
Here is where the fun begins. System integrity check: Y After clean check of root filesystem I get the following error: REmounting root filesystem in read-write mode: mount: LABEL=/ duplicate - not mounted FAILED That's where it starts, and then I have more erros, which I will gladly supply. It continue with many failures of no such file or directory and then tries over and over with: INIT: ID "n" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes where n equals the different run levels. Am I SOL here? The boot disk just gives me the same process. ANY help or advice would be greatly appreciated. -joseph |
Is this a software RAID (raidtools or mdadm) issue or hardware RAID?
|
It is an integrated promise chip.

If you deleted and rebuilt the array then you probably won't have much of anyhting left on that volume.
|
I deleted the critical drive and then added it back. When they came back up, it was functional.
The samething happened regardless though. When I went in the first time, I didn't mess with the arrays, and recieved the same errors. I am clueless here. SOL? |
you're booting from this array, correct? If so you might want to grab and burn a KNoppix .iso and boot from the CD you create to see if you can get a hint as to what might have gone wrong. At the very least you should backup all critical data (/home, logs, setups in /etc) then you can mess with it a little more.
You should also try to find out why the array failed in the first place - are the drives getting hot? |
LOL, no they are not...it was totally mindless. I was too lax on plugging and unplugging while running and didn't think.
I have a different server that needs some configuration that will back this one up, so I am not too worried. Just have a lot of files I would like to grab from this one. I tried the boot disk I made for the system, and that didn't work, but I guess I could try this other that you are mentioning. If I can get into the box, I can burn the files and be ok in the end. I was going to put this system down as primary anyway. I guess there is still a chance to save some files then, eh? Thanks again, Joseph |
Possibly - you'll need to know how to mount the RAID device. From the Config help file
