Check the man pages for fsck and e2fck for details, but you can have it
"fix" the files. Fixing really means cleaning up the filesystem, not
recovering you data though. I'd try a 'e2fsck -f -p' on it.
I have no raid experience so I'm hoping someone will jump in here and
help, but if it's not the / partition, you should be able to mount it form
a rescue disk.
I think you mean 'rescue' not 'restore' disk. I just tried this with a the
7.1 CD and it failed for me. I believe it has worked for me with older
(6.x) releases. At the boot prompt for the install CD, type 'linux
rescue'.
