Subject:   vinum disk has gone AWOL, help!

(Sorry if this is more appropriate for -questions...)


after my last reboot, which was NOT a panic or anything like that
my vinum volume sort of disappeared...

vinum itself is still happy, and a listing shows all my 
bits & pieces, up to the volume level as OK.

however, mount/fsck attempts come up with
errors like this:

# fsck /dev/vinum/rmassive
** /dev/vinum/rmassive
BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
/dev/vinum/rmassive: NOT LABELED AS A BSD FILE SYSTEM (unused)

_I_ havent touched anything, so it seems like something really
bad has happened. 

Can anyone suggest a way/hack to recover the damn disk? Its
a desperete situation :-(), so even desperate suggestion
will be appreciated. (i.e., is it possible to hack a 'label'
or an 'id' or something back into the disk. 

when a dd from the raw device, i do see something that looks 
like the root directory of the disk, so its not
as if everything was lost


-uname- (If it makes any difference)
