[suse-security] fs corrupted - permissions altered

["Miguel Albuquerque" <mfoacs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My nightmare : one of our programmers accidently has "chown (as root) * -R".
Hardware problems shuted down the box during the night and this morning the
machine won't boot. I had tried several things :

1. normal reboot does an normal fs repair, then it hangs on "unable to mount
/proc - only root can do that". The next reboot will eventually pass this
phase but will stop on "init : runlevel 6 respawn too fast disabling for 5
minztes" and again and again.

2. boot in rescue mode - can't mount file system, anywhere (i figured now
that  HD devices are in RAID mode).

What should i do. I am not that experienced with RAID and although i can
handle an rescue environement this situation is above my skill i fear.

Help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Miguel
