It appears that the partition is part of a RAID? Has the RAID itself |
| 28 |
protected you? Can you fail the drive, remove it, from the RAID, buy a |
| 29 |
new drive and get going again? I think any RAID other than RAID0 will |
| 30 |
withstand a single drive failure. right? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Once you had the RAID fixed you could deal with the other partitions |
| 33 |
on what appears to be a failing drive. |

No fun... |
