Hi, Our machine was recently nailed by a power problem at our colocation facility. When it was brought up afterwards, it wouldn't boot. When we got a rescue cd in place, and fscked the file systems we still couldn't boot. After some more playing, we got a livecd in place, and were working on fixing the booting problem (kernel hangs immediately after grub kicks it off) we needed to mount the other file systems (usr/var).
We ran fsck.jfs as the filesystems were saying they were dirty. The fsck ran fast, replayed the journals and pronounced that the file systems were clean. Upon mount though, we discovered that the mounted filesystems (all of them except for root) look exactly as they did when we initally set up the system. It's as though no file system changes have taken effect in the 3 months since then. The box has been restarted 3-4 times between inital install and going live (moving to its permanant home, etc). I have no clue what is happening here - suggestions, pointers etc would be much appreciated as we really would like to retrieve the latest data from the disk. Our setup is as follows: We have two drives in a soft RAID-1 mirror w/hot spare. / is mounted on /md0 All other file systems are on md1 and attached via LVM. Kernel rev is 2.6.12 and the jfs tools report rev 1.1.8 Thanks for any help you can provide. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
