Something seems to be wrong with my file systems, and I want to fsck everything. But I cannot.
The setup consists of 2 hds, carrying 3 raid1 (ext3) file systems (boot, /, swap). OS is up-to-date CentOS 5.
So I boot from CentOS 5.3 dvd in rescue mode, do not mount the file systems, and try to run fsck -y /dev/md0 fsck -y /dev/md1 fsck -y /dev/md2
you should check, using "cat /proc/mdstat ", whether the raid devices were found and started. If not, you could do it manually, e.g. mdadm /dev/md0 --assemble /dev/sdaX /dev/sdbY where the disk (e.g. a and b) and partition (e.g. X and Y) names need to be filled in. There's also mdadm --examine /dev/sdaX , and of course fdisk -l /dev/sda
Once the devices appear correctly in /proc/mdstat, you should be able to fsck them.

For each try I get an error message: "Superblock could not be found..." "The device does not seem to contain a valid ext2 filesystem..."
Well, of course not, the filesystem is ext3, not ext2.
I also tried fsck.ext3, but the error messages stay the same.
So, how could I fsck these arrays?
