That's a pretty huge amount of damage. If fsck is able to fix it without trashing data, then it doesn't matter. I missed how big your array was, but if you have the resources to make an image of the raw devices, I'd definately reccomend you do so: # cat /dev/hdx > /some/path/with/lots/of/space/hdx.img This will let you restore your disks and try again. At any rate, good luck with the data. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@willow.seitz.com A Pope has a Water Cannon. It is a Water Cannon. He fires Holy-Water from it. It is a Holy-Water Cannon. He Blesses it.
