SUMMARY: Recovering an AdvFS filesystem

Thak you very much, everyone who responded. The
consensus was to either recreate the
/etc/fdmns/whatever_domain directory and then create
the disk symbolic links (ln -s /dev/disk/dsk1c dsk1c,
etc), or have advscan do it for you.

I did an "advscan -r dsk1c dsk2c dsk3c dsk4c dsk5c
dsk6c". Those were all the disks that made up the
file domain, which had just one fileset in it. It
found a filedomain, and created a directory in
/etc/fdmns/ named after the disks
(dsk1c_dsk2c..._domain), and created all the symbolic
links to those disks in that new directory. I did a
showfsets on the new domain, and sure enough the old
fileset name was there. I mounted the new
domain#fileset to a mountpoint. The filesystem was
empty. I'm thought it had data in it before. I
removed the filedomain, and then just created a
directoy in /etc/fdmns, and created all the sym links.
 I did a showfdmn on the new filedomain, and again saw
the fileset. Once mounted though, it was empty. I'm
starting to think this filedomain fileset had no data
in it to begin with.
