Mount point

Vedeval Franzo — Fri, 27 Sep 2002 13:30:18 GMT

I need a help about mount point. When I'm trying mount filesystems, the system show me the message above:

vxfs mount: /dev/vg41_hrrh/md01 is already mounted, /alcmd04_new is busy,
or allowable number of mount points exceeded
vxfs

Hi

Are you sure you don't already have this mounted. What does bdf show?

Are you in the directory that you are trying to mount the file system on? 'pwd'

Share and Enjoy! Ian

Hi,

Check to be sure that the logical volume really isn't mounted:

bdf | grep md01

Or, somebody could be logged in and sitting in your mountpoint directory. Try:

fuser /alcmd04_new

If you get any PIDs returned, do:

ps -fp PID#

to see what it might be. This happens to me sometimes when I don't have a filesystem mounted, and somebody is sitting in that mountpoint directory when I try to mount it. Another good reason to keep the permissions locked down on the mountpoint directories.

Hi

Can you post your mount command

Also

If bdf shows that file system as unmounted what is in /etc/mnttab ?

mv mnttab to mnttab.bak
then
mount -a

Looks like /alcmd04_new already has something mounted on it. Do "mount | grep alcmd04_new" to see if it does.
