Hey All,
I tried upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 via Update Manager from 8.10. It had some kind of postfix package installation failure and totally stopped the whole upgrade in the middle. After a reboot, it looks like I am missing the root file system. There is no etc/fstab. I am thinking the best way is to just re-install everything. I did not have a lot configured on the OS so its not a big deal BUT I have a software RAID 5 array that was seperate from my OS partitions that I absolutely want to get back.
I setup the current OS using the server CD and set the OS partitions to be mirrored, then a seperate RAID 5 array for media.
What is the best way to go about this?
Do you think its worth trying to recover the current OS?
Can I just go back through a OS setup using the server CD and reform my RAID 5 array without losing my data?
Thanks for any help.
