Whoops, I replied without seeing these other replies; somehow threading was broken w/ George's first reply. Anyway - I would not go to e2fsck yet. I think your raid is mis-assembled. I'd investigate that first. I'll look at the other output a bit more, but for now, I'd stay away from fsck - just wanted to get that out there quick. -Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
