Hi there, New to the group but will appreciate it if someone who have experienced this can help me out. A power interruption (last holy week) was inadvertently done earlier than the scheduled time. Sadly my Samba server on CentOS was one of the machines affected by the event. Now I cannot put the server online as every reboot it shows a very disturbing message. My Linux knowledge is very-very small and as I've said maybe someone can give me some lead as to how to put back online or at least retrieve the data on the server.
