Does someone still have a link to the old disk? From the help notes on q 

mdisk...

The OwnerID and Odev listed in the output can be different, depending  

on how the disk was defined. If the disk definition in the system   
   
directory has been changed, the new OwnerID and Odev may not be    
    
immediately reflected in the QUERY MDISK output. The old designation  
 
will be shown until there are no users accessing the disk. Use the form
of the command consistent with the output needed for your application.
