I'm scared!

[MrMcDuck]

I lost a raid disk on my directadmin server and it casused the server to hang. After rebooting it only comes up to "Grub error 2" and stops.

Server is a Netfnity 5000
Netraid 3L raid controller - raid5

Any possible way to go about recovering a backup file? Should I re-install the OS and see if I can recover data? Won't re-installing the OS wipe everything?

I'm scared!

Hello MrMcDuck,

This looks like a corrupted partition, or something like that.

I would advice to boot with a rescue CD and to run a checkdisk.

You can try to run cfdisk or fdisk and see if the partition are still there :

# fdisk /dev/hda

or

# cfdisk /dev/hda

You will maybe have to hda by the right volume name.

This tool should give you all information to solve this issue.

Good luck.

Gregory

Since you're using a proprietary RAID card you should check with support for the company that makes/sells it.
