Good morning! I have a four-disk RAID5 volume with an ~11T filesystem that suddenly won't mount diskfarm:root:4:~> mount -v /mnt/4Traid5md/ mount: mount /dev/md0p1 on /mnt/4Traid5md failed: Bad message after a power outage :-( Because of the GPT errors I see diskfarm:root:4:~> fdisk -l /dev/md0 The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that will be used.

Since I don't have a second copy of all of this data, I'm a bit nervous about pulling the trigger to write changes and want to make sure that I take the right steps! How should I proceed? I'm not subscribed to this list, so please do cc/bcc me on your replies. I didn't see any other lists and did see some discussion here, so I hope that I'm in the right place, but please feel free also to point me in another direction if that's better.
