Hi,

We had a power lost even though we have ups and generators (still
investigating it) and when the machine rebooted one of the disk seems to =
be
failed=A0:

The system complains about fsck repaired failed and that I must run it
manually. It then boots in single user mode.

I entered gvinum and pressed =93l=94 to see the status of the drive and =
I get
this:
My volume is UP
My plex is shown as degraded
I have 3 of the 4 subdisks shown as UP the 4th is shown as down.

Running =93gvinum /dev/gvinum/RAID5=94 which is the name of my volume =
gets me
this error:
** /dev/gvinum/RAID5
Cannot find file system superblock
Ioctl (GCINFO): Inapropriate ioctl for device
fsck_ufs: /dev/gvinum/RAID5: can=92t read disk label

I tried =93bsdlabel gvinum/RAID5=94 it tells me there is no valid label =
found

Does anyone knows what I can try to try to put back system online (at =
least,
so I can restore a backup on the disk)

Thanks

p.s. Please reply to me also as I am a digest member thanks
