Hello,

I have  had a crash on the machine where I have a stripped vinum :
you just have to make a "fsck <vinum partition>" and all will be well

I just suffered from a kernel panic, and the aftermath is that one of my
disks apparently got obliterated. disklabel -r da1 gives me an error
(don't remember what it is offhand), but the device itself seems ok. The
SCSI controller can read the drive (I had the controller verify the
media, it checked out ok), and the kernel recognizes it (although the
drives now show up in the order da0, da3, da2, da1 upon bootup, where it
used to be da0, 1, 2, 3).

I'm hoping that I can just re-label the drive and get back up and
running, since most everything lives on vinum raid5 plexes. The problem
is that I don't know what the proper way to do this would be. Should I
detache the affected subdisks, redo the disk, and re-attach? I'm real
hesitant to screw with things since somehow the raid plex that houses
/tmp got corrupted.

I think Greg is out of town for this week, but I'm hoping that someone
else can give me some pointers here. A vinum recovery page would be most
appreciated!!

TIA,
dB!
