I was hoping someone could either help me or point me in the direction of a resource. I have searched the web for any howto on repairing a failed array, but keep coming up short. I have a home file server running a RAID 5 array that now will not mount my array. I believe it is telling me there is a problem with the second drive.
The basics: RedHat 8.0 kernel 2.4.20-28.8 don't know the samba version system is a PIII 600 with 3 Maxtor 80 GB drives all three drives are recognized by the BIOS The Grub loader comes up, but the system hangs when I try to bot the OS. Following are some of the errors that show up. I can't scroll up to see more as the system is frozen. I have all my family photos on here and would really like to preserve them. The timing is ironic. On the day the system failed I was building a new windows machine with a DVD burner to backup my data - all I needed was one more day! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
