Unfortunately, we only keep a day's worth of activity logs. Here's what
it shows for the past day:

That was me auditing the volume to see if I could get things going again.

That seemed to do the trick. I'm not sure why, because the volume was
already listed in "query libvolume"'s output. I checked the output the
output of "q vol 5009L f=d" and "q vol * 5009L f=d" and it was identical
to before. Checking the activity log gave the same messages as before as
well.
