According to the hosting provider, this is some of the first errors it gives, ------------ /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit line xx :/dev/null read only files system gives more of the same error, It can not read many lines in many files that it needs to boot up, due to read only configuring kernel parameters dup2 bad file descripter there are several bad descriptor errors and several /dev/null read only errors --------- Can someone please assist us on whether this is fixable and if we can recover our data from the server? Any assistance / guidance / pointers are appreciated.
