From the above, the harddisk is corrupted. So I am thinking to break the mirror so that I can use one of the usable disk. (This server currently is only use for reference purposes only). Thus, no intention to replace disk.
After vg00 is up and running after rebooted, Can I just frestore the fbackup tapes to recover full system ?
Any one experience this situation before? Your input and comments are very appreciated. Thanks.
