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.
