[ale] Can't Boot! Need Super Block Wizard

[mdkliman at aol.com]

When the system failed, the disk drives weren't on-line.  Now they are.

The full error message is:

An error occurred during the file system check.
Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance (or type Ctrl-D to continue);

 fsck xet3:  unable to set super block flags on boot [FAILED]

Does that help?

It's probably asking you for the root password, then after the root password is entered, displays a prompt something like:
(RepairFilesystem 1)#


You really need the full error message. It could be that there is legitimate disk corruption. But more likely there's a device listed in your /etc/fstab that's misspelled or no longer attached to the machine.  If its the latter, not that big of a deal.  If its the former, that usually doesn't bode well.

I have a small business in Norcross, with 3 Linux servers running Red Hat Fedora Core 6.
One of these is a database server running Oracle 11i.
 
We lost power and now the DB server won't boot.  It displays a message about not finding a "Super Block" and - I think - awaits entry of a utility name.  Our programmer is conversant with Linux, but told me I need help from an experienced Linux Admin.
 
"I've fallen and I can't get up."  I sure could use some help before I lose any more customers.
 
Thank you, in advance,
