I’m running panther on the server. I found out something interesting, though. When I looked at both of the drives via server monitor, it noted that the amount of data transferred to and from one of the drives was lower than the other, so I’m guessing that the one that has a higher amount of data transferred back and forth is the drive that’s currently functioning, therefore the drive that I want to repair from.

Currently,

disk3 == virtual drive
slice 0 == disk2
slice 1 == disk1 – the current funtional drive

So, I’m thinking that the correct command to repair the mirror would be:

diskutil repairmirror disk3 0 disk1 disk2

Do I get a cookie?

Should do the trick. Thanks

That worked. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I’ve been finding a wealth of information about the subject since I figured out what’s going on, but every site seems to have their own way that they like to handle it, lol. I suppose it’s one of those things that you just have to choose a path for. I’ll take a look at the article(s). Hopefully they’ll be a bit more informative. I’ve always had good luck with the articles here.

Well, it’s not an automatically mounted home directory. The computers aren’t authenticating to the server, they just have home directories that are available to them.

Ok, I tried the permissions repair and while it did fix some things, it didn’t solve the problem. I was finally able to get the system to boot verbosely and it’s complaining about missing extensions, which seems pretty odd to me. I should mention I’ve tried clean installs with multiple hard drives, I’ve tried switching the motherboard, ram… I think I tried a different CD drive as well.

Here is the error that I’ve been able to get

Sorry if this is too verbose, but I thought it best to include all information rather than having to go back and get something I missed.
