Problem of permission - TRU64

[Eberno]

My friends,

I boot my system TRU64 with single-user and I need to creat the /etc/fdmns.
When I make mkdir /etc/fdmns not permission
show me DISK Read-only.

Please Can Help -ne

Try running bcheckrc first.

My frinnd,

I make this command bcheckrc, but need of the /etc/fdmns to mount the domains ( root_domain and urs_domain)

I try :
mkdir -p /etc/fdmns
mkdir: Cannot create fdmns
fdmns: Read-only filesystem.

I executed the follow command "lsmbstartup" and
need of the /etc/fdmns.

Not sure I got the point.
You boot to single user mode and want to create directory /etc/fdmns?
It should be allready there.
Maybe you want to create another directory in /etc/fdmns?
Can you post your OS version?
As Ann said, you can run bcheckrc first. That should mount all "mountable" file systems.
However, you can try
# mountroot (for V5.X)
or
# mount -u / (for V4.X)
to mount root file system read/write.
Are you using LSM?

Version V4.0D.

OK, as I said, you can mount root r/w with:
# mount -u /
After that it will not be read-only any more.
Are you sure that you want to create /etc/fdmns and not for example /etc/fdmns/dom1_dmn?
By the way, did you read:

My friend,

I did make the mount:

mount -u /
mount:error locking ´/etc/fdmns´[2] No such file or directory

[Hein van den Heuvel]

Hmmm,

Sounds like you are in a catch-22 here.
You need /etc/fdmns in order to do the mount -u /
You need the mount -u / to create /etc/fdmns


What happened here?
How did the system get to this state?

Can you boot an other disk with (minimal, freshly installed) Tru64 and work with the target boot disks as a data disk?

fwiw,
Hein.

[Vladimir Fabecic]

I see what is the point now.
In your case you must boot from installation CD.
Then mount your root partition somewhere (/mnt ot something).
Looks like your / is advfs. Do you know how to make links to advfs domains when booting from installation CD?
Did someone rename /etc/fdmns or what?

[Eberno]

My friends,

I did the boot with "boot -fl s",
But when want mount the FS, show me early error.

I rename the /etc/fdmns and did reboot.
