Thanks to all who wrote with suggestions. I got the problem fixed. The problem
was mostly my fault. We recently upgraded from ULTRIX V1.2 to V3.0.  The v3.0
fsck ("fsck -p") checks to see if the disk had been unmounted, if so it doesn't
do any disk check (i.e. with /m1 mounted on /dev/rra3c, after "umount /m1",
"fsck -p" says "unmounted cleanly").  

The problem was that mount was complaining because I was using v1.2 fsck
instead of v3.0 fsck. After doing fsck with v3.o, mount let me mount the
filesystem.
