Hello all, I'm new so if I do anything rude please let me know so I can adjust.

I set up an openbsd file server using sftp, with a raid 1
configuration and failover with Carp. My plan was to use rsync to sync
up the file sharing directories and I believe I got a little bit ahead
of myself when I thought I could rsync the /etc folder to streamline
the configuration of my servers. It's quite possible that one of my
systems was broken from an earlier attempt at reinstalling (which
synced a functional, yet broken configuration with a good system), at
the time I thought the raid automatically fixed the attempt at
reinstalling, but after looking at my fstab file I'm pretty certain
the raid hadn't been functioning properly for a while. (very stable
system though that fails so gracefully) Anyways, long story short, I
have a lot of work on that system, I'm not hoping to recover the
beast, I just want to copy my files off of it and transfer them to a
working system, but it is booting read-only with /etc/nologin in place
and I cannot figure out why.

Please help.
