You should be able to fix it in /etc/fstab. Just replace ad4 with ar0.
Test it with /tmp, unmount it, replace the string in /etc/fstab and
then "mount -a". If everything is fine, there you go.
Wouldn't he have had to write all the stuff to the ar device to keep
ad5 consistent with what he has on ad4?
Shouldn't the RAID Controller be responsible for consistency?
A trick question :( There is no RAID controller. The ar device is a
software mirror. See the STABLE mailing list for recent discussion
about this, as well as benchmarks comparing the ar device's software
RAID to geom-derived software RAID.

OK, then, shouldn't the software RAID controller be responsible? I'm not sure if I understand the issue.
