The problem seemed to be w/ the file system and not the database. After 
rebooting everything worked, and the databases came back alive. Now I'm 
running into some more permission problems, not able to create new dirs 
in '/usr/local', because now that is a read-only file system. Rebooting 
to see if that'll clear it up again.

It did.

Anyone else experiencing their file systems being locked in read-only?
