ADVfs Woes

Hi All,
     I believe that I am out of luck, but I thought I would give the list a
quick try before abandoning hope. Yesterday I added a new disk to a multi-disk
ADFfs volume. This was one that had come back from repair, and I supposed
(erroniously as it turns out) it to be OK. Overnight said disk died big time,
crashdumps etc and now is completely gone. When the reboot after crash occured,
the system could not mount any of the sets from that domain (officially a
scratch domain, but we all know that folks want the stuff that they have in
scratch, and that they hadn't backed up because they were working on it). Is
there any way anyone knows of to get rid of the bad disk in the volume and keep
what is on the others? If I pull the link from the /etc/fdmns, things complain
about the wrong number of disks, if I leave it there, I get an I/O error. If I
manually remove it, I get an inconsistant number error message.

This is on a 3.2c system.

                                  Any help most appreciated
