It then boots in single user mode. I entered gvinum and pressed =93l=94 to see the status of the drive and = I get this: My volume is UP My plex is shown as degraded I have 3 of the 4 subdisks shown as UP the 4th is shown as down. Running =93gvinum /dev/gvinum/RAID5=94 which is the name of my volume = gets me this error: ** /dev/gvinum/RAID5 Cannot find file system superblock Ioctl (GCINFO): Inapropriate ioctl for device fsck_ufs: /dev/gvinum/RAID5: can=92t read disk label I tried =93bsdlabel gvinum/RAID5=94 it tells me there is no valid label = found Does anyone knows what I can try to try to put back system online (at = least, so I can restore a backup on the disk) Thanks p.s. Please reply to me also as I am a digest member thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ian Lord MSD Informatique 1711 Mont=E9e Major Terrebonne (Qu=E9bec) J7M 1E6 T=E9l: (514) 776-MSDI=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 -> (514) 776-6734 Sans Frais: 1(877) 776-MSDI=A0 -> 1(877) 776-6734 http://www.msdi.ca
