search for: rpmdb_verify

Over the weekend my workstation (still on CentOS 3) started showing SMART errors, so we shut it down and moved everything onto a new drive. On reboot, the RPM database reports as corrupted and "rpm --rebuilddb" segmentation faults. Is there any reasonable way to recover from this, short of a complete reinstall? The machine is otherwise up though it''s quite likely some files

...I've cleared out the __db.* files and tried to rebuild the DB with no luck. I've also tried this: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=145858 and this: cd /var/lib tar zcvf /var/preserve/rpmdb-`date +"%d%m%Y"`.tar.gz rpm cd /var/lib/rpm ls -l rm -f __db* /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify Packages rpm -qa 1> /dev/null rpm -v --rebuilddb with no joy (also with the PubKeys). Any ideas as to what to try next would be *most* appreciated. Best Regards, Camron -- Camron W. Fox Hilo Office High Performance Computing Group Fujitsu Management Services of America, Inc.
