Hi
It was easy done by rm -rf /etc/fdmns/corrupt_fdmn which removes any link to
file domain and without any reboot I suceeded in creating a fdmn on this disk.

Sorry for the late summ

Original Question:
I have DU 3.2C, an Eisa Raid Controller in an A2000 an in the box one Disk
which is configured as JBOD.
My problem is that I cannot remove a Fileset. I get the following error
message:
# rmfset pythia_nsr index
rmfset: can't delete file set 'index' from domain 'pythia_nsr'
rmfset: error = E_BAD_MAGIC (-1167)
rmfset: error unlocking '/etc/fdmns'; [9] Bad file number
# showfdmn pythia_nsr
showfdmn: unable to get info for domain 'pythia_nsr'
showfdmn: error = E_BAD_MAGIC (-1167)

I did not format the disk on the controller and tried to set
          up the disk with disklabel and afterwards set up a new domain and
          a fileset on this domain.
          Trying to mount this fileset now crashes the machine.
          Meanwhile I have done the disk initialization via controller
          and I think setting up again the Domain&Fileset would succeed.
          But how to remove this, for the disk re2 is now locked.
