Going with the suggestion from Christian (thanks Christian), I was able to attach the 3 drives making up the system root volume to a CentOS 7 system. From there I was able to mount the volume with no issues, as RW. Looking at dmesg on that box shows no errors. Is there something further I can run at this point to scan the filesystem for problems? Or will it have automagickally fixed it when I mounted it on this system?
