fsadm -b error

Carol Garrett — Mon, 29 Jul 2002 13:40:38 GMT

Hi,

I get an error when using fsadm -F vxfs -b /tmp

vxfs fsadm: filesystem /opt doesn't match filesystem super-block on /dev/vg00/rlvol5
vxfs fsadm: use [-r] to specify a raw device

Whats my problem ?

Are you trying to run the fsadm command as a non-root user ? It must run as root.

The problem is the trailing "/" after the mountpoint which confuses fsadm in
thinking that the root filesystem is mentioned, which in this case was not.

Remove the trailing "/"
