Hi Guys
I recently had my RAID5/0 array (8x500g SATAII) corrupted after a blackout. I can not fsck or fsck_ffs it but I can still mount it Read-only so I have managed to back it up. Most worrying is that I can not seem to get it to reformat.
Sysinstall via the LiveFS looks like it works, but the changes are never written once I exit out.
I tried the fdisk method here but when I try to initialize at step 2 it I get this:
I even tried deleting and recreating the array in the RAID controller BIOS, that looked like it worked as the partition was removed from /dev but after recreating the partition in sysinstall the previous corrupted fs was still intact!
Google is not bringing up anything useful on these errors. Are there any more forceful methods I can try?

Code:
#fdisk -BI da2
******* Working on device /dev/da2 ******
fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
fdisk: Class not found
