Different BDF Output

John_44 — Wed, 06 Jun 2001 19:05:52 GMT

Instead of showing /dev/vg00/lvol3 as the logical volume for / it has this:

Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/root 143360 24314 111635 18% /

What does this mean? I have never seen /dev/root before.

Are the other lvols correct?
I've see that before...I usually create the mnttab file by renaming it (e.g. mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab.date) and then typing mount. This usually corrects bdf output.

Any other problems or unusual things before this showed up?

Here's a couple of links to documents in the TKB that may help you out:

Normally this happens if the system has been booted in maintenace mode (hpux -lm) from ISL.
Solution is given by Peggy.

This happens when booting into maintenance modes... ie h2 mount the / without lvm being up : hpux -lm
You'll need to correct your /etc/fstab and possibly your lvlnboot root definitions.
