After rebooting one of our systems, an Alphastation 500 running DU40.d
with patch kit 1, the filesystems on an advfs domain failed to mount.
Booting single-user, and running /sbin/bcheckrc, I get (for all the advfs
filesets on that, the only, domain):
domain#fileset on /mount-point: I/O error.
Running /sbin/advfs/verify domain gives:
verify: can't get set info for domain 'domain'
verify: error = ENO_XTNTS (-1036)
+++ Domain verification +++
main: unable to get info for domain 'domain'
error: -1036, ENO_XTNTS (-1036)
Which doesn't look good. Is there any hope of recovering this (most
filesets are backed up, but not all, so a recovery would be nice). The
domain is contained within a single disk partition, so it is at least
not too complicated.
salvage could be worth a try, I guess, though it doesn't seem to work in
single-user mode (complains about not being able to map shared libs). I
thought I would enquire about best strategies before trying anything
further.
Thanks for any help,
