/home filesystem won't mount || Cannot determine name of device major=28, minor=45059

[Josie C. Billones]

Hi, Good Day,

Need your assistance on the error we encountered during mounting and fsck of /home FS. We cannot mount /home FS.

Server model:
9000/816/E35

OS: HP-UX B.10.20 U 9000/816 1944328241 unlimited-user license

From /etc/fstab:

/dev/vg01/lvol1 /home hfs defaults 0 2
==========================================

#mount /dev/vg01/lvol1 /home
mount: /dev/vg01/lvol1 needs to be fsck'ed before mounting
mount: warning: if device /dev/vg01/lvol1 is mounted to another system
then do not run fsck

#fstyp /dev/vg01/lvol1
hfs

#fsck -F hfs /dev/vg01/rlvol1
DeviceName(): Cannot determine name of device major=28, minor=45059.

Can you list the contents of "/dev/vg01" ?

Regards,

Hi,

from 'man fsck':
fsck [-F FSType] [-m] [-s] [-V] [special ...]
special represents a special device (e.g., /dev/rdsk/c1d0s8)

So command should be:
'fsck -F hfs /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0'

(You can see the disk with 'ioscan -fnC disk'?)
