RHEL3 kernel panic with md

RHEL3 kernel panic with md

[Colin McDonald]

I appear to have a corrupt file system and now it is mirrored. LOL.

I am running Redhat Enterprise 3 and using mdtools.

I booted from the install media iso and went into rescue mode. RH was
unable to find the partitions automatically but after exiting into
bash i can run fdisk -l and i see all of the partitions.

I know this is sparse info but would any of the group be able to give
the best approach to getting them  mounted and fsck'd?

Thank you in advance

Colin

I'm happy to say I haven't tried this, but I would think that you can 
start the raid array manually and then run fsck (also manually). I would 
worry about why the rescue mode didn't find your data, though.
