Message-ID: <1089875522.1070.18.camel@localhost> (raw)
I have just got a server (Slackware 9.1) up and running after an unknown
incident brought it down overnight (extended power failure most likely,
but not necessarily).
At first, when powering on the system would not recognise any IDE device
at all. It would not boot off a CD, and after booting of a boot floppy,
it would not mount any partitions on any IDE device.
After a ride a car, bingo, suddenly it would boot again. Then freeze,
then reboot etc etc. Eventually, I have it at the point where it will
reboot again everytime. But the problem isn't over yet ...
It appears that two out of five md devices have disappeared. md0 was the
/boot partition, and md2 was the swap partition, they are no longer
present it seems. md1, md3 and md4 are all present but degraded I think
(see output of mdadm below).
Basically, I'm wondering where to go from here:
- Does this look like a sudden-power-off issue or a broken HDD issue?
- Any advice on how to resolve this issue (get back the missing md
devices and restore full arrays?
Thanks
Mick
