unable to mount file system

veronica pizana — Thu, 15 Jan 2004 12:26:51 GMT

Hi all, I am trying to activate my package (duplex SIG), but I got an error under the SIG.cntl.log file, does anyone know why I might be getting this??

Thanks
VP

it almost looks like your /dev/vg01/lvol1 is not there.

Have you checked your /dev/vg01 directory to see if lvol1 exists?

Maybe you can activate vg01 yourself and then verify with a vgdisplay if lvol1 exists and then deactivate the Volume Group.

Everythign is there
lvol1 is under the vg01 dir, and when I activate it the lvol1 shows under the vgdsiplay

I would run fsck with FULL option... the cursory fsck failed ... The ERROR refers to failed fsck

ERROR: Failed to fsck one of the logical volumes.

However, I did see a reference to doing an newfs on the logical volume b/c you appear not to have a filesystem to mount it to...

newfs -F vxfs /dev/vg00/rlvol8 # for vxfs fs

Here is that link to the posting... look at Rainer post there...http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=89364

You need 3 things to mount...

1) a logical volume
2) a new filesystem defined by newfs or updated FS by fsadm(refers back to the LV)
3) a mountpoint

No points here...

In addition to the -o full option, I've had to run fsck repeatedly to resurect a severely damaged filesystem.
It seems like 4 or 5 times was the most I've had to do before making a filesystem moutable.

Thanks to all for your prompt responses.
I was able to fix the problem my following Todd's suggestion to create it, and voila! i don't get the error anymore
Thanks,
VP
