I have a RAID-5 array on /home via vinum. This morning, the
server (running 4.8-PRERELEASE, compiled last week) wouldn't allow anyone
to login via ssh, imap, or console. So I had someone reboot the server
via control-alt-delete. Then it said that not all processes would dia,
use ps axl. Of course, since we couldn't login, this was pointless
advise. :) We then used the reset button on the chassis.
As I type, the server is in single user mode. The fsck commands
result in:
CAN NOT READ: BLK 16
I've looked at
http://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/smm/03.fsck/paper.html and found its
information less than encouraging. Since its said to "seek a guru", I
was hoping that someone here could help my poor little school district.
If this wasn't on vinum, I would assume that my next step would be
to assume a dead drive and remove it and move on. However, this is a
vinum array. I'm not sure how it could be a bad drive if the array is
composed of 4 drives.
Any help, pointers, etc. would be GREATLY appreciated. My entire
school district is effectively dead in the water until this server is
running again.
TIA,
Jaime
