Thanks to all for the info...

To be clear, it's not a hardware problem... everything appears to power up fine. Its not a raid problem (AFIK). It's not a boot/OS problem, since the thing boots up and I can talk to it. It's a file system (XFS) problem that I'm having.

The machine comes up and starts doing a fsck on device 60000, which is my RAID 5 device and that's where it runs into trouble.

I'll take the advice to make copies of everything before I start messing around with it!

Question: Do I need to know the chunk size, parity scheme, etc. that defines the RAID 5 if I'm going to try and read it, or will my controller be able to figure that out?

Thanks again!
