Thread: newbish tendancies w/lvm raid 5 initramfs

ok, let me start off saying there lot don't know. took me long long time far , having problem takes whole computer down! , have read lots of how-to's , documentation ubuntu wiki , such. things work , don't , it's causing confusion me right now. i'm turning you! knows stuff of hand lol! now... onto problem!

have "server" running ubuntu 10.04 desktop 32-bit running 3 1.5tb drives in raid 5 lvm. when lightly set feet ontop case foot stool or set drink down on it, think 1 of hard drives knocked off array. 1st time happened stuck @ initramfs prompt , couldn't figure out how because how-to's read didn't tell me how deal /home directory encrypted (dos guy here). great idea using encryption when i'm still dunce on subject

re-installed w/out encryption. later read have disabled array, removed faulty drive , re added , started array again! ohh lost pictures , music spent 2 weeks ripping library

well, computer bumped again , same thing happened. i'm trying should have done last time it's not working. there lot of documentation , how-to's in different direction, using different commands... work, don't...

i'm handing onto gods here, please tell me commands put in, , i'll play middleman?! takes me hours seems research these problems , don't have time right now... there thinks can tackle problem?

i'm stuck @ initramfs prompt right now, can stop md0 won't start, or let me add or remove drives

i mean i'll literally put in whatever command u tell me , let know spits out... have sda1, sdb1 , sdc1 drives...

edit: have 3 months of pics need @ least wasn't years old still...
