Mount Options Incompatibilty

Ankit Grover — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 00:11:37 GMT

Hi experts,

I am using HP-UX B.11.23 Itanium box. Yesterday, the system was rebooted and some of file systems did not get mounted automatically even though FSTAB entry was there.

I tried mount -a but got following error:
vxfs mount: mount option(s) incompatible with file system /dev/vg_perf_demo/lvperf1

Its entry in FSTAB is:
/dev/vg_perf_demo/lvperf1 /fns/perf1 vxfs rw,suid,nolargefiles,delaylog,datainlog 0 2

Other file systems with similar entries are getting mounted properly. Finally I got it mounted through
mount /dev/vg_perf_demo/lvperf1 /fns/perf1

Can someone please help?

The fs probably has the largefiles flag set, and maybe actually has a file >2GB in size on it. That's the only significant option here I think.

Shalom,

In 11.11 largefiles/noloargefiles was removed as a valid option.

Try taking that out. The mounter checks the filesystem.

newfs is used at filesystem creation to indicate largefiles and fsadm is used to convert a filesystem.

Thanks Jollyjet. The following thread recommended by you gave me the solution:

Duncan,
There was not a single file in entire system with size larger than 10MB. But since the FS was created with LARGEFILES option and FSTAB had NOLARGEFILES option, it was creating incompatibility problems.

Thanks Jollyjet, Duncan & SEP for ur support

The options while creating FS were different from ones in FSTAB file.
