mount:possibly damaged filesystem, mount failed: no space left on device (error 28)
 
Have you tried an fsck on the raw device?

Is there free space on the currently mounted filesystems (not sure why this would be needed, but worth checking)? Annihilannic.
 
1. do fsck -ofull (no space in ofull) of that partition e.g. /dev/u1. plse note all this preferably to be done in single user mode (-ofull for HTFS/VXFS or -s for EAFS.

2. if it gives error at phase 5 then possibly your log files in HTFS file systems are corrupt. if so then read from clause 9

3. if fsck at pt 1 fails early then try fsck -y on <fiesystem>

4. if this suceeds then try read only mount.
mount -r /dev/u1 /u1 (example. susbtitute yr file system)

5. if fsck -y succeds but mount -r fails, then try fsck -y again. but this time mount on diff file directory,
mount -r /dev/u1 /mnt.

6. if mount -r succeds then chnage in yr /etc/default/filesys.

substitute ur original mountdir with the new one. in or case /u1 would be changed for /u1 to /mnt

7. then try mount -o remount /mnt - (the mountdir name). before this ensure that yr current mountdir and mountdir name if /etc/default/filesys are same.

8. if it succeds then umount /mnt, restore your origingal /etc/default/filesys i.e. change back yr original mountdir and try mountall

9. if fsck -ofull fails at phase 5 then yoy would have to truncate yr HTFS journal log file. to slove this read TA no 113821 from SCO. (search SCO for corrupted or power)
