Can fsck run on a software RAID 5 setup? I have the following and my system hangs when the fsck runs after the 30th boot.
boot - md0 - RAID 1 (2 drives plus spare)
/ - md1 - RAID 1 (2 drives plus spare)
/home - md2 - RAID 5 (3 drives)
/var - md3 - RAID 5 (3 drives)
Sometimes I can get it to skip (ESC) and it runs fine. I do have the desktop GUI loaded on my server setup, as I am more comfortable in a gui environment.
Once the server boots (when I can get passed the fsck) it runs fine (apache, php, mysql) and it keeps going without any assistance.
I am running Jaunty server amd 64 with desktop gui.
It is an AMD 64 processor and has 3 identical 500 GB HDDs.
The server primarily serves moodle for a school.
