syslog message

John Forbes — Fri, 01 Apr 2005 04:17:35 GMT

Will someone help me interpret exactly the meaning of this syslog message below.

"vmunix: vxfs: mesg 004: vx_mapbad - /ics2 file system free inode bitmap in au 5 marked bad"

Thanks.

hi,

refer to this thread:

may require a fsck on that filesystem or worse case, replace the disk.

Hi John,

Did you use fsadm to reorganize your filesystem ?

please post your os version and the vxfs version.

Robert-Jan

Have also seen the intermediate case where you needed to newfs the filesystem.

There is also this document which discusses JFS errors in some detail (including this one):
