Don't have a backup? Bad luck.
You should learn the lesson and backup your systems.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: vxfs mount: /dev/vg02/lvol1 is already mounted, /oracle is busy, or allowable number of moun
Try a full check (as the last error suggested):
# fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vg02/rlvol1
However, as Torsten has suggested, look at "When Good Disks Go Bad" guide. You are probably going to need to replace the damaged disk and unless it's mirrored, restore the missing data from a backup.
Regards!

fsck(1m) says it is bad.
And if you use dd(1), you should do the whole disk, not just 64 Mb.

This is a hardware RAID (mirror) built from a RAID4SI controller, so follow the advise above and check the controller.
Hope this helps!
