Re: Device not configured / Can't check filesystem. Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Just answering my own initial post - FreeBSD was innocent, the RAID controller seems to have died. Zero communication between that and the FreeBSD box. Moral of the story : backup, even if it's on redundant RAID 5.
