 I tried “bsdlabel gvinum/RAID5” it tells me there is no valid label found
 
 Does anyone knows what I can try to try to put back system online (at least,
 so I can restore a backup on the disk)

I'm trying to find my vinum notes, but can't as of yet...

What does a:

# fsck -y /dev/gvinum/RAID5

...yield...anything?
