You're probably going to have to dig up a third disk somewhere and add it to the array before it will resync. > fsck.ext3 No such file or directory while trying to open > /dev/RaidGroup/RaidVolume If the RAID device can't be started, then nothing built on it "exists". > Naturally I don't have a full backup, so somehow I need to recover if at > all possible. Should be possible with a third disk. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher i.pilcher@xxxxxxxxxxx ========================================================================
