Gidday,

I have a problem with an RZ24 internal disk, in that I
cannot read it. I really need the stuff on this disk
and I was wondering if anyone out there could help me
out...


 When I fsck I get the following informative
message:
> fsck /dev/rz2a
  RZ24 unit 2: retryerr, SnsKey = MEDIUM ERROR,
   AddSnsCode = 0x11, LogBlkAddr = 16, 
   Dev = rz2a, SectNum = 16.

or with alternate super block:
> fsck -b 32 /dev/rz2a
  RZ24 unit 2: retryerr, SnsKey = MEDIUM ERROR,
   AddSnsCode = 0x11, LogBlkAddr = 48,
   Dev = rz2a, SectNum = 48

Chpt tells me it cannot read the super block,
and when in multiuser mode,
Gidday,
# fsck /dev/rz2a
** /dev/rz2a

CANNOT READ: BLK 16
CONTINUE? y

THE FOLLOWING SECTORS COULD NOT BE READ: 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31,

Now this looks pretty serious to me... :-(
Any help would be most appreciated.
