OK -- I have gotten to the point where I have a valid
plex (I did it by installing a large, cheap IDE drive
in the system and putting an entirely new plex on it).

But when I try to mount the drive, mount complains
that the volume needs to be fscked.  Fsck refuses.  I
CAN however mount the file system and see the expected
top level directories (liberty mysql orville reform 
tam).  But I cannot view contents inside the
direcotries.

(see selected transcript below).  

So is my data toast, or is there a way to fsck
/dev/vinum/raid?
