I have a couple of disks in an Alpha, one has AdvFS(rz1) on it and the other
ufs(rz0). I was attempting to mount the AdvFS partition while booted from
the ufs disk so that I could access the data without booting from that disk.
I got an error saying that AdvFS not installed. Okay, no go, so I have to
boot that disk. I boot that disk and get:
Checking local file systems
/sbin/ufs_fsck -p
/dv/rrz2h: File system unmounted cleanly - no fsck needed

I read that this could be a terminal problem between graphics and ASCII
terminals, but I can boot from rz0 just fine, so I don't think that this is
the problem. I also did a "advscan rz1" and got:
Scanning devices /dev/rrz1
Found domains:
domain_rz1a
Domain Id 35749edc.0000ab90
Created Tue Jun 2 18:54:52 1998
Domain volumes 1
/etc/fdmns links 1
Actual partitions found:

Actual partitions found:
rz1g
I thought that the domain names should be root_domain and usr_domain, so is
it possible that these got renamed when I was trying to mount them on the
ufs system? When I first did a advscan there were no names for the domains,
I tried some other commands like verify just to see if I could get some
information on the domains and the later when I did an advscan they were
named as above. I must have done something wrong and renamed the AdvFS
domains, is there a way to fix it? If so, do I need to get this disk into a
machine with AdvFS installed or can I use the AdvFS commands that are
installed already with rz0(ufs disk with /sbin/advfs commands installed).
By the way, I can boot to single user mode on rz1, but cannot mount the usr
partition, I get the "does not contain a valid ADVFS file system" error as
well, so I cannot get vi or any other executable from the usr directory
going to modify a file on the root partition.
Thanks!
