SOLVED: System Drive Crashed, Now what....
Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2015 6:04 am
Hi Amahi Community.
So, my server won't boot up anymore. I get errors about can't read sectors and it goes to the grub rescue prompt. I set my root to hd0,1 and try an ls command and the I get bad sectors error again. I am guessing the drive is bad.
So, basically I had a 40GB drive with the OSS and a 700GB drive as the landing zone with multiple drives (3TB) as greyhole drives. So, I am assuming the data is safe on those drives.
Any recommendations on the best way to solve this issue? What do you do when the OS drive goes bad?
Any advice is appreciated. I have some experience with Linux but am more of a power user than an admin.
