Comment: "ERROR READING IN DIRECTORY - volume VOL1 NOT Mounted" is the error I got after downing the server for a UPS test. In reviewing the system errors over the past 2 weeks, a number of re-directed block errors were recorded (about 20). Volume is not mirrored and I'm really not wanting to re-format the drive. Any utility available to restore the directory? I have retained all of the redirected block error messages. J. Barry

Reply: (edit)By way of follow-up, in using vrepair, VOL1 has shown many (832) errors, mostly in "Mirror mismatches". Although the vrepair prosess went through, start to finish and seemed to work, on trying to subsequently mount the volume, an error showed "directory mirror mismatch". Any suggestions? J. Barry

Reply: (edit)A SUGGESTION ONLY. Which type of Hardisk are we talking about, scsi or ide. If scsi try an updated driver if ide try a different disk driver located in the c:\server.312 or what ever you named it. One way to try is to boot the server without the startup.ncf by holding the shift key at "starting ms-dos" then cd to serverFiles directory and typing server -ns and then load the alternative disk drivers from the c:\server.312 directory and see if you get those mismatch mirror errors. Repeat process till you tried them and get no errors.

Reply: (edit)Thanks for the tips. The drive is ide. I have gotten the demo version (5.10) of Ontrack's Data Recovery for Netware, and it's analyzing the volume at this time. It warns about the effects of vrepair. It will supposedly give an analysis of the drive but will apparently take most fo the day to do this analysis. Any experience with this utility? Would it be better to make the disk driver changes first?
Why would a driver that's been running with no problem for 2 or 3 years need to be changed? J. Barry

Reply: (edit)NetWare 3.12 comes with a utility called VREPAIR On the console type LOAD VREPAIR and the utility will do the rest.

Reply: (edit)When you paretition a NW volume it creates a % for bad block remapping (hotfix). As the volume develops errors it uses these blocks - if you try Vrepair and it uses all the allocated blocks then it cannot move the errors as it finds them - the disk then becomes unusable. 20 errors may ne a large amount for your drive since usually a drive ends up with around 28 blocks for redirection. Sounds like you have filled the hotfix area - I suggest that you contact Ontrack for a physical repair.

Reply: (edit)Howdy all,
I believe my drive is trying to make dinner, theres an awful lot of grinding going on... So the drive has crashed. It's a RAID 5. Theres two mirrored vols that span it. VOL1 won't mount, but VOL2 will. Wassabi with that? Shouldn't there be enough data between the disks to comprise VOL1?
