[LUG] Problem with disk array.

["James Wonnacott" <jwon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having a problem with a disk array:-

I have 4 200GB Hitachi Deskstars set up as raid 10 
on a 3ware Escalade 7506 Raid controller.

I have one EXT3 partition on them mounted as /home

All seems to be working fine but everytime I restart the box
I get fsck errors and have to run a check

The relavent lines in messages seem to be:-

May 31 14:43:52 remote fsck: /dev/sda1:
May 31 14:43:52 remote fsck: The superblock could not be read or does
not describe a correct ext2
May 31 14:43:52 remote fsck: filesystem.  If the device is valid and it
really contains an ext2
May 31 14:43:52 remote fsck: filesystem (and not swap or ufs or
something else), then the superblock
May 31 14:43:52 remote fsck: is corrupt, and you might try running
e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
May 31 14:43:52 remote fsck:     e2fsck -b 8193 <device>


my fstab is:-
[jwon@remote log]# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda5 / reiserfs notail 1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda1 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom auto
umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users
0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=
850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda9 /usr reiserfs notail 1 2
/dev/hda11 /utils ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda8 /var reiserfs notail 1 2
/dev/hda7 /var/log ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /vault reiserfs notail 1 2
/dev/hda10 swap swap defaults 0 0

I've tried e2fsck. I've even remade the whole array and recreated the
partition but its still thowing an error.

Any ideas anybody??

Thanks, James
