Hi there,
I have just been given the responsibility of an Alpha AXP 2000 Model 300.
>From what I see, it is using the Advfs and has 2 domains. One for root,
called root_domain and the other called whopper which points to a 9GB
external Seagate disk. The machine has crashed repeatedly over the past 5
days and is about to be completely rebuilt. However we would like to back
up all of the data first, but we can't due to the following error messages
that occur at boot:
....
Checking local filesystems
/sbin/ufs_sfck -p
...
..
bs_bfdmn_activate: can't open domain ftx log, tag =0xfffffff7.0x0:
E_CAN'T_FIND_LOG_END (-1077) whopper#sensing on /home/sensing: I/O Error.
As I have just been given this machine, I don't claim to know anything
about Advfs. From what I can gather, this machine has never had a domain
called ftx. So, what must I do to see the whopper domain one more??
Have I lost all data on the external 9GB disk?? - I hope not!
One the machine has booted the follwing messages appear in the console
window:
advfs_logger: pg #510 is bad; truncating log

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
