Get a copy of VRepair.nlm and V_Long.nlm (if you're using long name space plust whatever name space modules you're using) Put them on a floppy and load vrepair from the floppy. Run vrepair on your corrupted volume. Sometimes just simple dismounting a volume and remounting it again can fix problems.

I have already tried that and it doesn't detect a volume that needs repaired.

Load install and select volumes options. Ensure your volume is listed there. If it is not, the partition table entry from that volume is gone. You'll have to restore from tape.

Oh forgot one detail, make sure that the drivers for the adapter and drive or array are loaded, otherwise Vrepair will not be able to access the volume for repairs

Is it a legacy NetWare volume or an NSS volume? If it's an NSS volume you should use 'NSS /rebuild='
