We would appreciate anyone to help us with the following problem. Lately we installed a new release of AIX v3.1 (3003) on our RS6000 system. A day later the system crashed. After a shutdown -F it would not boot anymore. However, after performing a shutdown -Fr, no special problems were encountered. The operating system had to be reinstalled. Now our problem is that we had two external hard disks (670Mb removable) connected to the machine, which were installed under the rootvg volume group. After the reinstallation of the Operating System (on the internal disks only) the system couldn't access the data on the external disks anymore. Does anyone know how to recover this data or has anyone ever had the same problem? I tried the SMIT options "Add a disk with data" but this gave a memory fault With thanks for any information, Wilfried Houtput System Manager Radiological Image Processing Group University of Leuven, Belgium houtput@esat.kuleuven.ac.be
