Sorry all,

For more than one volume group, it will give me the error message.

use the RAW dev file /dev/data/rdbcc_data

apart from that have the copy of the OLD /etc/fstab that you can be sure before all whether the FS for this had been HFS or VXFS.

you can simply use

fsck /dev//r

When I run it it give me the following error message:

root@library:/dev/data fsck /dev/data/rdbcc_data
fsck: /etc/default/fs is used for determining the file system type
invalid super-block
vxfs fsck: cannot initialize aggregate
file system check failure, aborting ...

The content of /etc/default/fs is only

LOCAL=vxfs
