Sorry about that! In my excitement I didn't exactly give a lot of
details on how this got resolved.

I did a "yum reinstall filesystem" then physically disconnected the
drive and connected it again. That did not work. So I restarted the
system and again physically disconnected and reconnected the drive.
Then, my drive showed up and mounted properly. It has been working
fine ever sense.
