Over the weekend my workstation (still on CentOS 3) started showing SMART errors, so we shut it down and moved everything onto a new drive. On reboot, the RPM database reports as corrupted and "rpm --rebuilddb" segmentation faults.
Is there any reasonable way to recover from this, short of a complete reinstall? The machine is otherwise up though it's quite likely some files have been lost.
