Problem removing a volume

Hi admins,

I'm having problems removing a volume from an ADVFS domain.
The rmvol command appears to be hung, sitting at 99.9% CPU.

After leaving the command to run for around 19 hours (a little excessive
for a 26GB volume) I CTRL-C'd the rmvol.

I now see this output from showfdmn which appears to show there's still
some data on dsk2c which I'm trying to remove.

# showfdmn -k lynx1

                Id Date Created LogPgs Version Domain Name
3f229547.000dfe6a Sat Jul 26 15:50:47 2003 512 4 lynx1

   Vol 1K-Blks Free % Used Cmode Rblks Wblks Vol Name
    1L 26658816 8697520 67% on 128 128 /dev/disk/dsk1c
    2 26658816 26403888 1% on 128 128 /dev/disk/dsk2c
    3 62914560 29026656 54% on 256 256
/dev/disk/dsk212c
       ---------- ---------- ------
        116232192 64128064 45%

I then balanced the domain, and ran the rmvol again - but this hung
again in a similar fashion. I then defragmented the domain and ran the
rmvol again, but once again it hung.

Running rmvol -v shows pages of output like this:

rmvol: Moving file
     file name: <unknown> (setTag: 1.32769 (0x1.0x8001), tag: 1.32769
(0x1.0x8001))
     no pages moved
rmvol: Moving file
     file name: <unknown> (setTag: 1.32769 (0x1.0x8001), tag: 1.32769
(0x1.0x8001))
     no pages moved
rmvol: Moving file
     file name: <unknown> (setTag: 1.32769 (0x1.0x8001), tag: 1.32769
(0x1.0x8001))
     no pages moved

Any ideas how I can get the rmvol to complete....?
OS is 5.1B pk2.

Cheers,

Rob
