History - centos 5, we installed it about 2 years ago - we had 2x 1TB drives in it and the original idea was software raid mirror - during the install the drives would only show up as standalone 1TB drives, we never got the mirror set up - and it's been running this entire time with 2 drives mounted, at 1TB each.

We mounted the second volume to /backups and had nightly backups going there.

primary drive got some corruption/failure starting and the OS mounted the root file system as read only. I was able to SSH to it, I checked the /backups folder, everything was there and readable.

I tried to remount the root file system read/write - and the system hung.

We had someone reboot it, he said when it was coming up it was doing some disk repair/maintenance - when we got there to look at it, it kind of looks like the drives changed to a software raid0 - and we can't get them to mount.
