Mounting filesystem on AT&T 3B2

I am trying to figure out why the /usr2 partition will
not mount on a machine I have kindof inherited support duties for.

I get the following error when I run mountall:

mount: /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s8 not a valid file system or not type S5
mount -f S5 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s8 /usr2
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s8 is not a valid filesystem


The output of the prtvtoc looks like this.

* /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s6 partition map

* Dimensions:
*     512 bytes/sector
*      43 sectors/track

*    1652 accessible cylinders

*  10: read-only

Looks to me like /usr2 should be mountable -- the Flag is 00 right?
I have no idea how this disk was originally formatted etc.  It is 
possible it was done incorrectly to begin with. Anyone know if 
this be fixed ( made mountable ) without reformatting??  

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is on an AT&T 3B2/600G  running System V 3.2.2

Thanks in advance
