- Subject: 68B Mounting Volume Using Disked

- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: The following is a procedure that was used to help a customer
- get a second volume online that would not mount in an NDS/4
- for a 68B file server:
-
- 1. The info from COMPSURF re: a drive's format is contained
- in sector 15 of the hard disk.
-
- 2. The vol/sys: was mountable, but the 2nd drive, which was
- identical as far as mfg and model, was not mounting.
-
- 3. As a last ditch effort to bring the 2nd drive online, we
- went in with Disked.I, read sector 15 from drive 0, changed
- drives to drive 1, and wrote sector 15 to drive 1.
-
- 4. We rebooted the file server and brought it up from the
- hard disk, and it mounted both volumes. Evidently, the info
- on sector 15 of drive 1 had been corrupted and by restoring
- sector 15 from an identical drive, we were able to solve the
- problem. If this had not worked, the user would have had to
- reCOMPSURF and loose all data on drive, for which they did
- not have a backup.
