Cheking file system

[Igor Sovin]

I get an error while trying to mount filesystem
# /usr/sbin/mount /dev/vg00/.audit /.audit
vxfs mount: /dev/vg00/.audit is corrupted. needs checking

Then I did fsck:

# /usr/sbin/fsck -F vxfs /dev/vg00/.audit
file system is larger than device
vxfs fsck: cannot initialize aggregate
file system check failure, aborting ...

What does it mean?

Hi all;

I am having this same issue with two different drives, but neither of them have logical volumes, they were added to the system without the LVM. I forgot the data on my desk but the fstyp -v shows blocks=8192 and the size was around 17000000 (ish) comming to around 136GB. But the drive is only 73GB. The only thing that may come into play is that the drives are in a removable bay tower and there might have been 146GB drives in there earlier. I tried every vxfs fsck possible . I have read the other three threads and the suggestion is to try lvreduce, but does anyone have an idea how to convince the file system it is smaller if it is not a logical volume ??
