fsck fails after install of 11i

jerry1 — Wed, 15 Jun 2005 10:02:44 GMT

We cannot fsck one of our lvol's to mount
after vgimport.

vgimport -m mapfile -v -f infile /dev/vg03

# fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vg03/rlvol1
log replay in progress
vxfs fsck: file system does not contain a valid log
vxfs fsck: cannot perform log replay
pass0 - checking structural files
pass1 - checking inode sanity and blocks
pass2 - checking directory linkage
pass3 - checking reference counts
pass4 - checking resource maps
vxfs fsck: fsck read failure bno = 334, off = 0, len = 8192
file system check failure, aborting ...

This seems to be hardware problem with disk.

Run a dd test on whole disk and check.
dd if=/dev/rdsk/cxtxdx of=/dev/null bs=1024k

This *might* not be hardware related...

Did you properly umount all your filesystems before doing the upgrade? or did you just vgexport with them up?

IIRC VxFS in 11i has a new layout which means it can't read the intent log from an older VxFS filesystem... I'd be tempted to restore an old copy of fsck from before the upgrade (you *did* take a backup didn't you?) - I seem to remember it is somewhere in /sbin. Restore it to a new name/location and see if you can 'fix' the filesystem using it - then try mounting it in the usual way.

This does not look good.

I suspect a disk has died.

I am also suspecting It looks the problem with hard disk only . #dd command returns with any error ?
