So, randomly when I ran off to the bank today my server crashed.
Not a normal crash.........
A serious, won't let me reboot kinda crash.
I have no one to turn to til morning and have some serious files that went down that I REALLLLLY need tomorrow.
So, I'm trying my best to figure things out here.
The info I can provide you with;
Running FC10 x64,
(2) Quad Xeon 2.33ghz,
16gigs of 667 ram (I ran memtest and my ram passed after 4 hours no problems....)
Older ATI Radeon 7000 series 32mb Vid card,
3ware 9690 raid card running two raid array' - First array is the system OS mounted at / running two 640gb WD drives in Raid1 - Second array is fileserving array, strictly for rendering and copying image sequences and projects to for vfx. This array is 8tb in Raid6, so 5.45tb of storage.
And now the problem.
When FC10 boots up (when I restart it manually), since the crash I get to the login screen, then it brings up my username: Exile Entertainment Corp and I put in my PW, KDE selected as default, and BAM, nothing, just black background with the loading icon, no GUI, just the loading icon on the mouse. Finally after about a minute it kicks me back to the user login. So, I tried GNOME, which at least produced an error for me;
it read......

Oops, sealer hit an error
Traceback (most recent call)
File "/usr/bin/sealert," line 949, in
print >> sys.stderr, "could not attach to desktop process"
IOError: [Erno 28] No space left on device
So, I now, can see my fileserver still listed on the network, viewable by others on the network, but is totally inaccessible
I also now see when the 3Ware Bios screen comes up on startup that my Raid6 array is 'verifying' ..... ?
The 640gb, only 200gb is used. The 8tb raid 6, only 2tb is used.
I'm at a total loss, and I'm freaking out a bit, I'm worried there could be data loss, it looks/seems okay, but it scares me nonetheless because I don't know what to do
Thanks for any insight gang,
-Inso

iirc when I was using ubuntu I couldn't log in as root either.
Yes, but that was a (silly) design decision on Ubuntu's part, mainly because it's primarily a desktop OS. He's using Fedora Core anyways, which IIRC forces you to chose a root password during install.
(You should ALWAYS have the ability to log in as root on the local machine. There are a few reasons, but the main ones are that root's home directory is stored in the / partition, whereas user home directories are typically in /home, so if there's a problem mounting /home then none of your users can log in. Also, by default, most filesystems reserve a certain percentage of disk space for exclusive use of the root user, so if a user process inadvertently fills up a filesystem, root can still login to fix it.)
You can give yourself the ability to log in as root on Ubuntu by doing 'sudo passwd root' and choosing a password, BTW.

File this away as a lesson for the future: "I shall always configure logrotate when I add new logging to my system." 
Finally.
