[clug-talk] Server Fails to boot after a Power Failure: Solved!!!

[Juan Alberto Cirez]

Good day Friends,

Thank you all for your help and the above problem. Seems like my buddy 
worked it out thanks to all your help.

"...Dude, I can't thank you enough! I was going through the boot 
messages, to get more info to explain the problem, and I started seeing 
a bunch of mirroring errors (I have 2 drives mirrored), right before it 
shit the bed. So I looked again at Bios stuff, and all looked fine. So I 
disconnected 1 drive from the sata cable, same thing, no boot. So I 
disconnect the other one and reconnect the 1st, and bam. it boots right 
up. I guess the 1 drive of the mirror was faulty, but not the other. So 
now that I can boot again, I'm going to replace the dead hd with a new 
and set the mirror back up, and GET A UPS for this one. It should be an 
easy sell to the client now  :)  I think a good backup solution is in 
order as well. Basically, it was a set it up as fast and as cheap as you 
can type job from years back, and their super happy with how it's run 
maintenance free for 4 years with school kids pounding on it, so I think 
they are ready to invest a little more..."

Thank he added (sarcastically, I'm sure):
"...I thank you again Alberto, and me and generations of my family will 
revere The Great Linux Guru, Alberto Cirez in song and tale! lol..."

Thank you guys.
