Hi

"...ERROR: Cannot stat device file: /dev/vghist/lvol1: No such file or directory (errno = 2). Check /etc/fstab for a bad
entry...."

What happens when you :

# ls -la /dev/vghist/lvol1 ?
# lvdisplay /dev/vghist/lvol1 ?
# vgdisplay /dev/vghist ?

When you 'bdf' what is /dev/vghist/lvol1 mounted to?

It looks like you have an old /etc/fstab referring to a lvol that doesn't exist, /dev/vghist/lvol1.

The way to correct the problem is to update /etc/fstab.

just check if vghist is available and fine.
List expander failed because it can not match /etc/fstab
man list_expander

put entry in fstab move /etc/mnttab and run bdf again.
