While mounting HFS file system

Arulkumar — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 06:06:35 GMT

Hi all,
I have created one HFS large file system with 6GB size & I tried to mount on local dive but it seems gave the error as "invalid argument"

#lvcreate -L 6000 -n lfs1 /dev/vg77/
#mkfs -F hfs -o largefiles /dev/vg77/rlfs1
##mount /dev/vg77/lfs1 /lfstest1/lfs1
mount: /dev/vg77/lfs1 on /lfstest1/lfs1 : Invalid argument

But I crated the same way one more file system like lfs2 that is mounted properly.
##lvcreate -L 6000 -n lfs2 /dev/vg77/
# mkfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg77/rlfs2
#mount /dev/vg77/lfs2 /lfstest2/lfs2

Do you have the mountpoint already?

/lfstest1/lfs1

Try to specify the fs type!

Why using hfs???

Hi Torsten,
That also I tried but it is the same error & the destination dir also already created.
for specifically we have some file system testing on that.

Why would you ever want to use obsolete technology like HFS?
(If you are testing to see if your product works in it, it may be better to say HFS isn't supported.)

Try using differant mount point.
Check the permission of mpount point.

Hi Arul

Delete directory lfs1 and recreate it with

mkdir -p /lfstest1/lfs1
