root is mounted on /dev/root

Hi all,
We r using HPUX 10.20. My / volume is getting mounted on /dev/root instead of /dev/vg00/lvol3.
I have tried recreating /etc/mnttab by removeing & creating it again by mountall.

kindly suggest solution??

Hi:

Perhaps you were in LVM maintenance mode and rebooted from there. Perhaps your '/etc/fstab' entry for '/' isn't correct. In any event, you can correct this without rebooting. Simply do:

# rm /etc/mnttab
# mount -a

Regards!

HI james,
I tried rebooting same also but it did not solved my problem.
Finally I edited /etc/mnttab entry of /dev/root to /dev/vg00/lvol3.

and after that i proceded for mount -a.

It did solved my problem.
Thanks a lot for your support.

Regrds
