Mounting a filesystem error

Habib_4 — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 02:39:09 GMT

Hi guys,

A couple of filesystems are bringing back the following error when I am trying to mount them:

mount: /usr1: I/O error
mount: /usr8: I/O error
mount: /usr3: I/O error
mount: /netscape_server: I/O error
mount: /export: I/O error

What is happening here?
Why are these errors occuring?

Cheers!

Hello,

You need to check syslog.log and dmesg for more information abt this. This could be due to IO failure between system and hard drive.

Habib,
are all these mount points on the same physical disk? If so then most likely the disk is going faulty. The usual checks can be done (fsck,dmesg ...). I/O error normally mean disk replacement.

Hi Arun,

Yes syslog shows:

Apr 20 14:43:03 gb898_e vmunix: vxfs: mesg 017: vx_ilisterr - /usr3 file systeminode 6 marked bad

This is is happening for all the filesystems that are not mounting except for '/export'.

Cheers!

You do need to run fsck (full) on them and then try mounting.
