After RAID5 problems which are now solved, I am not able to mount VMFS

Hi All,

After a Raid5 failure which was solved by Dell Pro Support we cannot mount our main Datastore 1.

See below what we get when doing a : DF -k command, a Fdisk -l command and a sxcfg-volume -l .

Can anybody help out to fix this ?

Thanks a lot, Edwin,

~ # df -k
