Urgent help needed please: Gvinum problem

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: can’t 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
