Hi guys...
Yes I am an idiot. I was changing the chunk size of my RAID5 array
last night from 64kb to 256kb and left it running overnight. During
the night we had a power outage.
This is where the idiot part comes in. The backup file is on a
filesystem that's part of the RAID5 array, so obviously I am unable to
start it. I completely forgot the filesystem I specified for
--backup-file was part of the same array.
Once you're all done pointing and laughing, can you let me know if I
am totally screwed? I've a lot of data here that I -really- don't
want to lose...
Please help..
Idiot.

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
