Logical Volumes do not mount during system startup

[Randy Hagedorn]

Hi,

A couple of months ago, we had to replace a disk and with some complications had to rebuild all VG's and LV's that were on that disk. Since then when the system reboots several LV's do not mount and I have to mount them manually after the system is running, using this command:

mount /dev/vg02/Group5 /u05

Here is a sample of /etc/rc.log:
Mount file systems
Output from "/sbin/rc1.d/S100localmount start":
----------------------------
mountall: cannot mount /dev/vg02/Group5
mountall: diagnostics from mount
vxfs mount: mount option(s) incompatible with file system /dev/vg02/Group5

Here is a sample of /etc/mnttab:
/dev/vg02/Group5 /u05 vxfs log,nodatainlog 0 0 1194624602

Here is a sample of /etc/fstab:
/dev/vg02/Group5 /u05 vxfs delaylog,nodatainlog,largefiles,rw,suid 0 2

Does anyone have any ideas as to why, or do you need more info.

Thanks in advance,
Randy

Check if largefiles is enabled on this filesystem.

hi randy ;
if you recreated the filesystem , probably you did notcreate with largefiles option.
what is the output of the "fsadm /u05" . if it does not return largefiles, then you need to convert fs to largefiles by
1. umount it.
2. fsadm -o largefiles /dev/vg02/Group5
3. mount it


or you can delete largefiles option from fstab

Randy:

It appears that you did not build or subsequently enable your filesystems for 'largefiles'. Do:

# mkfs -F vxfs -m /dev/vg02/Group5

...to see if 'largefiles' is set. If not, do:

# /usr/sbin/fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vg02/Group5

OK ... the problems seems to be with the filesystem largefiles option as mentioned.

Here are the results of the suggested commands:

# fsadm /u05
fsadm: /etc/default/fs is used for determining the file system type
nolargefiles

# mkfs -F vxfs -m /dev/vg02/Group5
mkfs -F vxfs -o ninode=unlimited,bsize=1024,version=4,inosize=256,logsize=1024,nolargefiles /dev/vg02/Group5 524288

I will make the necessary changes to the filesystem when time permits.

Thanks,
Randy
