TCLUG, I had a chance to play with a live cd last night to see if I could get to the fstab file, but it would not see my drives. Here is what I got. Ubuntu 9.10-64 server edition on new machine I set up Ubuntu software raid with md0 boot, md1 as root, and md2 as swap. I was in the process of configuring samba and rebooted. It was hanging at a spot, which looked like the last statement in fstab. I could control d and it would give me a command prompt. I commented the last line in fstab and rebooted. Now it hangs and I can not get back to a prompt to undue this part. Tried the live cd to find the md1 drive set, but no luck. Any thoughts???
