Greetings. After rebooting a system that had been up for quite some 
time, I could not get the second drive (da1) to mount. The drive 
worked fine before I rebooted. dmesg reported:

. . .
da1s4: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
da1s4: start 63, end 71132959, size 71132897
da1s4d: start 0, end 71132959, size 71132960
. . .

When I tried to access the disk, dmesg said:

. . .
(da1:ahc0:0:1:0): SCB 0x36 - timed out

The drive was inaccessible. I rebooted again. dmesg still says:
. . .
da1s4: rejecting partition in BSD label: it isn't entirely within the slice
da1s4: start 63, end 71132959, size 71132897
da1s4d: start 0, end 71132959, size 71132960
. . .

but now I can access the disk fine.

Can I fix the drive without losing the information on it? If so, how?
