I've found the root cause now -- ad3 decided it no longer wished to be with me, leaving me in a very uncomfortable position. .s0 is up, and reliable, .s1 is stale -- but I have reason to believe that no writes were made to the disk during the time I attempted to access it, just a simple tar job and that was about it. It is very rather important that I recover this data, however. .s3 is the crashed (really!) disk. This was a RAID5 system, with each subdisk on a seperate disk. How can I "force" .s1 up from stale? How badly will I trash the FS on s1? -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR | TGIFreeBSD...
