vxfs mounts from a EMC BCV

[Mitchell Johnston]

We use BCV mirrors and splits to perform backups. I have a logical volume the will not fsck or mount.

cannot open device /dev/nvg01/lv06
file system check failure, aborting ...
/dev/nvg01/lv06: unrecognized file system

I have 5 other lvols in the VG and they all work fine. I get not errors on the symmir or the split.

I thought that perhaps it was due to the lvol on the other side was currupt, but I can umount it and fsck it and get no errors.

Both systems are 11.00 and are up to date on patches.

Can You please run fstyp -v /dev/nvg01/lv06 and lvdisplay -v /dev/nvg01/lv06 | grep -ci stale ?

[Mitchell Johnston]

Here is the output:

siebel4[/opt/omni/lbin]#fstyp -v /dev/nvg01/lv06
unknown_fstyp (no matches)
siebel4[/opt/omni/lbin]#lvdisplay -v /dev/nvg01/lv06 | grep -ci stale
0

Then something must really be corrupt with the lv, or at least strange.

You don't possible happen to have
'lvm.11' and friends somewhere below /usr?

I'd definitely call in HP to analyze the LV, we also run BCV backups and this error hasn't come up (and I hope it won't).

No they are mounted under root. The ting that gets me is all of the rest of the lv's come across fine and the vg has no errors. Plus the fact that the souce checks good. Thanks for the input anyway.

lvm.11 is a HP tool for low-level analysis of lvm volumes. ;)

Ask HP on it, probably they'll want to run it themselves, and that's just fine given the number of parameters it has.

(I just don't want to be much more verbose, because everytime a post of mine is deleted I'm really, really angry for some time)
