It sounds like you need to run fsck over your disks - a quick way would be to reboot.

Have you rebooted recently? This should not just start to happen - you may need to check your hardware. Get into the ISL by typing Crtl-B at the console (*not* telnet), and look through the logs.

Cheers!

What mount options you have with your mounted file systems.

You have to do a fsck on all the file systems.
Might be some corruption on the file system.

You can reboot is single user mode and do a
ISL>hpux -is

# fsck -F vxfs -o full /dev/vgXX/rvol... for all volumes

Are you using delaylog with your mount options for the file systems.

Thanks

Do you have the latest vxfs patches installed on the system.
just found one for your messages

http://support2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?patchid=PHKL_22677&context=hpux:800:11:00

patch PHKL_22677

Also doing a fsck on the file system may make you lose the files associated with the above inode numbers.

Just try giving a
#find /home -inum 1146 -print
to catch the file.

Thanks

Hi

You need to unmount the file system and use fsck to run a full structural check.

hello,

aggressive patching of OS was NEVER recommended.

Apply patches only when you face a bug.

Hope this helps!

The common way is to update the OS using the latest patch bundles.
Just check what patch bundle you have on your system.

#swlist
to find the patch bundle releases.

This is the link for the latest patch bundles

http://us-support2.external.hp.com/common/bin/doc.pl/screen=commonExtensionSW/sid=055910091a01b3f34b

The patch PHKL_22677
has a dependency for PHKL_18543.
If your system does not have that patch then you can download even 18543 with that and do a installation.
The patch download has been made simple that you can select the required patches and download it in a single shot.

I would suggest to ignite your system before go ahead for the installation of those patches.

Now do a fsck for the volumes and try re-mounting the file systems.

Then you can download all the vxfs patches and you can install it at once.

Thanks
