[NBLUG/talk] More hard drive problems

[Dean A. Roman]

Lincoln,

I don't have a lot of experience with ReiserFS, but do with ext2 and 
ext3 and software raid devices, so here are some ideas:
You could try remounting with "mount -o errors=continue"...this will 
skip any errors and just try to mount anyway.
Also, in "mke2fs there is an "-S" option that will just write or rewrite 
the superblock info...maybe there is an option like this for reiserfs??
Last but not least, try removing the damaged disk from the array using 
"mdadm --remove or --fail" options.

Hope those ideas helped a bit.

Thanks,
    ---Dean.
