But when I try to mount the drive, mount complains that the volume needs to be fscked. Fsck refuses. I CAN however mount the file system and see the expected top level directories (liberty mysql orville reform tam). But I cannot view contents inside the direcotries. (see selected transcript below). So is my data toast, or is there a way to fsck /dev/vinum/raid?
