Can't restore raid Date: Fri, 25 Dec 2009 20:33:47 -0500 Message-ID: <1261791227.10448.88.camel@vibe> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Linux RAID List-Id: linux-raid.ids Hi, I have a raid 10 array and for some reason the system went down and I can't get it back. during re-boot, I get the following error: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 I have tried everything I can think of and I can't seem to do an fsck or repair the file system. what can I do? Thanks Rick
