nodatainlog - mount option

[Mariusz Grabowski_2]

even when I use an option:

-o datainlog

mount -p still shows 'nodatainlog'.
I've tried unount/mount with the above option - still no luck

[Bill Hassell]

nodatainlog had to be added by one of your root users. The 'standard' mount option for a vxfs filesystem in fstab is delaylog. Everything else (rw, nodatainlog, blkclear, convosync, mincache, snapsize, nolog, largefiles, quota, etc) are listed in the mount_vxfs manpage. If this filesystem mounts without a problem, you have Online JFS installed. If it produces an error, just remove the option.

Use "datainlog" as it enhances your writes.

By default nodatainlog is enforcedd if not explicitly declared in /etc/fstab. Be sure though you have OnlineJFS.

[Alzhy · Accepted solution]

Mariusz -- then that means you do not have OnlineJFS installed.

What does:

vxlicense -p

return?

[Sandman!]

The "nodatainlog" option cannot be changed for a filesystem unless you have Advanced VxFS product installed. If you have BaseJFS then "nodatainlog" will remain the default and changing it on the command line will have no effect.

cheers!

"I've faced the same on hpux11.0 (it required to put 'vxadv' driver into kernel) - don't know though what's the matter here."

I should have noticed earlier.. it does appear you do not have OnlineJFS - aka Full or Advanced Veritas File SysteM (VxFS).

Do a vxlicense -p.

Depending on where you purchase your JFS/VxFS from - if it is from HP then you need to install the OnLineJFS product (which essentially does simply a copy of the license file).

If it is from Veritas (Full VxFS) .. then it is adding a license via the vxlicense command.

I found the same:

when I tried to resize a fs, got a message:

fsadm: You don't have a license to run this program

[Pete Randall]

In that case, refer back to my first answer!

it's not that obvious all right.. i have onlinejfs, something is screwed up with the lics though.

need to figure out the licensing then - thanks every1 for replies :)
