Hi everyone,
Yesterday I had a disk fail on a SunFire 280R Solaris 8.
The questions first:
Can the experts confirm my opinion that this is a hardware problem -
disk failure?
Have you any suggestions for recovering data from this drive (I do have
backups, but I would still lose some important data)?
Thanks for any help
Richard Butler
Symptoms:
This machine had two 72G disks (not mirrored) and during reboot after
installing the latest recommended patches I get the warning:

And of course all the filesystems on this disk failed to fsck or mount.
Using format I can see the bad disk as c1t1d0 (although searching for
disks... seems to take longer than normal)
0. c1t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>

/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000004cf8e7591,0
If I go ahead and give the correct geometry I can then see the partition
table as I had it before the crash.

I cannot however mount any partition:
mount /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s5 /mnt
mount: I/O error
mount: cannot mount /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s5
