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 :
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 l 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 gvinum /dev/gvinum/RAID5 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: cant read disk label
I tried bsdlabel gvinum/RAID5 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
