So as near as I can tell I've got one drive that failed and cut off communications with the other disk on the SCSI controller (or something) which made that second drive become not-fresh before the kernel panicked. dmseg says that one is not-fresh, and the other is faulty. How do I proceed without data loss? I've tried raidhotadd to bring up the not-fresh drive, but the raid device can't start up and thus I can't hot add it. Thank you very much -Titus Winters
