A power outage followed by a second outage caused damage to an
important optical disk. The error message I get follows:

"Error while repairing disk: unable to fsck disk"

Can anyone help me get access to this disk again?

Thank You,

This should probably be in the FAQ, but doesn't seem to be common knowledge.

If you can't automount an OD, and you can't fix it, you can still manually
mount it.  Log in as root.  Type "/usr/etc/mount /dev/od0a /FoO".  It will
ask you to insert the disk.  Insert it.  It is mounted.

This method WILL mount a corrupted OD so you can read its contents.  Since
it is corrupted, it is not recommended to write to it.  You should copy the
important files to something else, then reformat it.
