Acquire a single disk, install it, and create a new RAID0 configuration.
Install 7.1.4, and in this process create the same file system names as on the original. The actual size of the file systems does not matter.
Create an emergency boot cd, or download and install Microlite Edge (microlite.com) and create their recovery CD.
Remove the single hard drive and replace with the RAID5 configuration.
Boot from the newly made recovery cd, and run fsck on the root file system and the stand file system.
Hi jgt, I have done above as suggested so now I have the RAID5 system booted with an emergency boot cd...
But I am not sure how to proceed.
I have tried to fsck the root filesystem but there isn't a vfstab on the system so I get an error.
I have tried running an fsck (the VXFS version) on all the devices in /dev/rdsk but that just resulted in an error from most of them.
So I am now unsure what steps to take to troubleshoot the original issue?
I can recreate the vfstab to be the same as the vanilla install I did on a single disk from which I created the emergency cd. Would that help??

USELIB(2) Linux Programmer's Manual USELIB(2)
NAME
uselib - load shared library
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int uselib(const char *library);
DESCRIPTION
The system call uselib() serves to load a shared library to be used by the calling process. It is given a pathname. The address where to
load is found in the library itself. The library can have any recognized binary format.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
In addition to all of the error codes returned by open(2) and mmap(2), the following may also be returned:
EACCES The library specified by library does not have read or execute permission, or the caller does not have search permission for one of
the directories in the path prefix. (See also path_resolution(7).)
ENFILE The system limit on the total number of open files has been reached.
ENOEXEC
The file specified by library is not an executable of known type, e.g., does not have the correct magic numbers.
CONFORMING TO
uselib() is Linux-specific, and should not be used in programs intended to be portable.
NOTES
uselib() was used by early libc startup code to load the shared libraries with names found in an array of names in the binary.
Since libc 4.3.2, startup code tries to prefix these names with "/usr/lib", "/lib" and "" before giving up. In libc 4.3.4 and later these
names are looked for in the directories found in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and if not found there, prefixes "/usr/lib", "/lib" and "/" are tried.
From libc 4.4.4 on only the library "/lib/ld.so" is loaded, so that this dynamic library can load the remaining libraries needed (again
using this call). This is also the state of affairs in libc5.
glibc2 does not use this call.
