what does:

mount -p

say?

make sure neither you nor anyone else or any other processes are using /test as their current directory. If it still fails, create a temporary directory like /test2 and try mounting it to this directory instead to isolate the problem.

There is no entry for lvol11 in mount -p.

whether we have to change any kernel parametrs to increase the allowable mount points.

Using fuser or lsof to find out whether any user is in /test.

[Michal Kapalka (mikap)]

hi,

fuser should be the best way,

maybe somebody exported the /test folder via NFS.

Hi Tinqli,

Thanx for ur reply.

fuser throws below error.

fuser -cu test
test: fuser: could not find file system mounted at test.

himacs

[Michal Kapalka (mikap)]

Hi,

fuser -cu /test

mikap

[himacs]

Hi mikap,

I have created new dir check as mountpoint.

fuser -cu /check
/check: fuser: could not find file system mounted at /check.
>mount /dev/vg00/lvol12 /check
vxfs mount: /dev/vg00/lvol12 is already mounted, /check is busy,
allowable number of mount points exceeded

Dear Himacs,


Run the folllowing command:

#fuser -ku /dev/vg00/lvol11
#mkdir /test_lvol11
#mount /dev/vg00/lvol11 /test_lvol11
#mount -v

Also send me the output:

#ll /dev/*/group

Dear himacs


fuser -ku /test1

umount /test1

mount /dev/vg00/lvol11 /test1


thanks and regards

Hi himacs,

As I am sure you know this, A file system can't be unmounted if it is currently in use as above mikap said somebody exported the /test folder via NFS, that is a gud pont.

just follow some steps :-

mount -v

fuser /test //To see if /test is used by some users,if yes.

fuser -ku -c /test
umount -F vxfs /test
mount -F vxfs /dev/vg00/lvol11 /test

as per the mentined error by you it seems fs was not unmounted properly, apart from this topic:- plz assigne points to the folks who posted sugestions to you, n I am not talking bout me :) thx,

Regards,
Rahul Rai.

HI,
Keep in mind one thing before doing any fuser or umount, you should be a super user and second you should in / (root) directory
example
#cd /
#fuser -cu /test
#fuser -ku /test
#umount -F vxfs /test
#mount -F vxfs /dev/vg00/lvol11 /test

Hello Himacs,
try with fuser to kill users which are currently using /test

is it possible to reboot this system, if yes proceed to reboot it.

if still not resolve then check in /test any other folder is map out with any nfs or local share.

possible to post bdf output, thanks,
