Subject:   recovering a vinum volume
Message-ID:  <19990628083834.A76142@symbion.srrc.usda.gov>

I was doing a 'make world' last night when my system suddenly died
with IO errors. I had no choice but to reboot but I cannot mount my
vinum volume. The message is that the volume cannot be mounted because
the filesystem is not marked clean. However, fsck fails because the
filesystem is not recognized as a unix file system. Is there any way to
recover this volume?

Here are details of my setup:

FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE, as of about June 20, 1999.  I have /, /var, and /usr
on a 400MB slice of a 1.6GB IDE drive so I can boot the base OS.  I have
a vinum partition consisting of the remainder of the IDE disk and a 4GB
SCSI disk. This is where I have /usr/local, /usr/home, and /usr/X11R6.

This setup has worked great for the past several months and has gotten
through several 'make worlds'. As of now I am not sure what caused the
errors, there were no power problems at the time. Any help greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.
