AdvFS reports wrong double devices

Hello Managers,

I'm currently recovering a backup of a 3.2D-1 machine
on which i rmvol'd some partitions within a advfs-domain.

Everthing worked fine, until suddenly 'showfdm' reports
a domain with 1 wrong entry. When I reboot the machine I will
get in real trouble, since it then will tell me something about
wrong sizes, corrupt disklabels and so on. (I've gone through
this now the third time)

short:

        1. domain created on rz6g
        2. volumes rz2g and rz3g added
        2.a showfdmn reports rz6g rz2g rz3g
        3. rmvol rz6g -> failed (not enough space)
        4. removed some files
        5. rmvol rz6g -> success
        6.a showfdmn reports rz2g & rz2g (!!)
        7. reboot will destroy domain (havn't rebooted yet)

System: Digital UNIX V3.2D-1 (Rev. 41)

Patches: OSF360-006,-011,-023,-027,-028,-350084,-350097
               -350109,-350117,-350147

Is there __ANY__ way, to tell the current running system that the
home_domain does NOT consist of two times rz2g but rz2g and
rz3g ???

A reboot will crash the whole domain, that's for sure.

I never experienced such a trouble under 3.2C, the above mentioned
patches have been installed in order to get rid of this behaviour,
but it looks like this doesn't help.
