It's been so reliable, I've tended to just forget about it. However after a power outage, it will no longer boot. I've done some testing and got it booted with a 9.2 LiveCD. I think the version of FBSD on this box is 6.4. It has two 9 GB SCSI drives that I had striped using gstripe. I think one of those drives has died but would like to confirm before giving up. I've tried rewriting the MBR to both disks using "fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 daX" but get this error: Cannot get GEOM tree: Illegal byte sequence I've also tried "gstripe list" but get the same error. My stripe is "/dev/stripe/data" so I tried mounting it with "mount /dev/stripe/data /mnt/data". I get this error: mount: /dev/stripe/data: R/W mount of /usr denied. Filesystem is not clean - run fsck.: Operation not permitted So I tried to run "fsck /dev/stripe/data". Another error: fsck: Could not determine filesystem type I suspect one or both members of my stripe are dead. Can anyone confirm? Is there anything else I can check before giving up?
