   Generally, a "vinum start" on the previously dead plex.  It will usually
revive OK if you do this in single-user, but any reasonable level of
filesystem activity panics the system, and when it comes up, there's nothing
left of /usr (on either half of the mirror).

   No, it does OK as long as you never try to revive.  That's our current
situation.
