Problems with home server

[Bryan O'Neal]

So I run a fedora based server in my house. Recently I had the local
surge suppressor tip out and drop all my boxes. The server had wired
problems ever since. I can not log into a local X session (it hangs
trying to load a desktop) and I can not read files from the samba
server (I can see the files but not access them). I can login over ssh
and all the files are there.  So I was thinking I would just run a
quick fsck and see what turned up before doing a tar and export of the
files and a wipe and rebuild of the server.
However this is where I ran into trouble. i can get into single user
mode no problem but I can not unmount the main partition? umount
/de/VolGroup00/LogVol100 -f just returns - I am way to busy. But the
only things I can see running are disk and council related related
processes. lsof returns the stranded stuff /, /sbin/, /dev/counsole/,
proc[#]/exe/, etc.

But I do see lib64/ld-2.9.so, /lib64/libc-2.9.so,
/usr/lib64/libplybootsplash.so.2.0.0,  and
/usr/lib64/libpng12.s0.0.37.0 as well - not sure why those files are
open in single user mode - but in any case I can not umount the volume
with -f so I can fschk.ext3 it Suggestions?

And yes the drive is encrypted using the red hat / fedora standard
encryption. This is why I used fedora at the time and not cent OS for
this server, it made drive encryption very easy and reliable.
