ADVFS: Is my data lost?

Hello Managers,

one of my alphas (3000/400, osf/1 v3.0) yesterday crashes three times
with an advfs internal inconsistency error (Module = 41, Line = 552)
within 4 hours...

Since then i am not able to mount that filesystem, which covers nearly
2 disks, again.

The good things are that
- i can "see" both disks after shutdown and power-cycle with "sho dev"
  at the console prompt
- test scsi results in scsi ok
- when i boot the alpha, both disks are recognized with hardware-type
  and firmware level (dec-disk dsp5200 each)
- and at last after the boot, "disklabel -r" "sees" the correct
  disklabels (only partition g, starting at an offset, used as AdvFS)

The bad things are that
- a mount-try results in an i/o-error
- showfdmn gives the following output:

  showfdmn: unable to get info for domain 'data06b_dmn'
  showfdmn: error = E_VD_DMNATTR_DIFF (-1079)

At the moment i'm out of ideas what to try next.
Is my data lost? Is there a chance to recover it? How?

Any hint/help is very welcome.

Thanks

Bernt
