If the file you want is on the portion of a volume that's only partially
available now that the only owning box went down and took that part of the
volume with it then clustering and the fact the rest of the volume might be
available doesn't help you very much until the part you want comes
online. However it is interesting that the rest of the volume or disk group
or whatever it's called in VMS is still around.
