Hello,=0A=0Aone of my virstor providers lost its metadata. It looks like th=
e sector got filled with random data. it is the second last filled sector i=
n that virstor. Executing the command "gvirstor list", "gvirstor status" or=
 "sysctl -a" resulted in a kernel panic.=0A=0AI handcrafted the destroyed s=
ector assuming that all chunks of that provider were used and setting the f=
lags to 0. Now the kernel doesn't panic anymore but I get the error message=
:=0A=0AGEOM_VIRSTOR[1]: virstor_check_and_run: Invalid entry 100542 in map =
for vs3=0AGEOM_VIRSTOR[1]: virstor_check_and_run: provider_no: 25, n_compon=
ents: 33 provider_chunk: 512, chunk_count 512=0A=0AProvider 25 is the one w=
hich lost its metadata.=0A=0AThe version of FreeBSD is: 7.2-RC1=0A=0AIs it =
possible to revive that virstor to rescue some of its data?=0A=0AThanks for=
 any help.=0AFrank=0A=0A=0A
