    I'm looking for some help with Solaris 5.8 ufs disk mounting option.

    I have a disk that has some bad spots but I need to retrieve as much
    data as possible. I can validate it later, now I need to get it off.

    The ufs mount has three possible options for onerror=,
    panic, lock, or umount. The default is to panic.

    Does anyone know of an undocumented option that would allow me
    to set onerror=null, and not perform anything when a bad spot is encountered ?

    Also helpful would be a command that will tell me which files
    is occupied by a particular block number. I think the old command
    icheck used to do this, but it is no longer around.

    Thanks for assistance you might be able to provide.

    Sincerely,

    Ben Abernathy
