Re: FSCK Maintenance - no root password

I know this is a silly question, but is the md driver loaded and are the md
services running?

When I tried booting it into single user mode the server would still go to

have
it in maintenance mode again, I just need to figure out how to do an fsck

a raid system. When I try fsck /dev/md0 I got a bad super block error and
to run e2fsck -b 8192 which gives me the same error message.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I would be very cautious about interrupting an fsck. If you reboot your
machine and press a key to bring up the grub menu, then type 'e' to edit
that kernel entry, move to the kernel line, hit 'a' to append .. place an
's' at the end of the line and hit enter and then 'b' to boot you will
boot
without the root password into single user mode.
