cciss problems

[Neill Flynn]

Hi admins,

I am having a strange problem, basically I rebooted my RH9 Linux box
(HPDL360) and lost one partition. The machine failed to come up as it
was unable to mount the /export partition. I tried to FSCK it and had no
luck. Basically the /export partition was mounted on /dev/cciss/c0d0p5,
this device is not in /dev/cciss/c0d0p5.

Below are some relevant outputs
fdisk -l

Can anyone explain why this device may have disappeared and how to get
it back? (Is there a Solaris "boot -r" or "devfsadm" type command to
reconfigure the devices?).

Also, how do you reconcile "LABEL=/export" to the device? (I just happen
to know that LABEL=/export is c0d0p5).

Thanks in advance to any help.

Cheers,
Neill
