Sorry all if you've already received this, but I was convinced it had been
sent:

G'Day,
    I the week since I was last at work (a primary school in Northam), the
proxy server seems to have died. This is not good.
    The system is a dodgy old IBM P100, originally from the Main Roads
department, running Debian Potato with a Bunk 2.4 kernel. It has two HDs
running RAID 1 with Reiserfs over the top (as outlined by James' howto on
the subject http://www.james.rcpt.to/programs/debian/raid1/).
    What I require is a boot disk that will allow me to mount the root
partition, which is on the RAID, and remake the initrd which I believe to
be the source of the problem. If anyone knows of such a disk, I'd very much
appreciate it.
    If that fails then I guess I'll have to trash one half of the RAID, do
a basic install and then recover the RAID again (and hope that both HDs are
working :P ). The only problem with this (other than the time involved in
downloading all the debian packages) is that my /var partition is on RAID 0
and removing half of the array will corrupt that partition - losing the
cached pages. Ah well, thats life in the big city (well, ok, big country
town at least :P ).
    So, yeah, any boot disks with RAID and Reiser, please send my way.

Regards,
Adrian Woodley
