Corrupted files

[Laurie A. Krumrey]

When trying to install a simple patch I get
this error:

ERROR: Entry for filesystem "/dev/vg00/lvol3" in "/etc/fstab" could not be mounted. If you do not want this file system mounted, comment it out of the "/etc/fstab" file, or set the "mount_all_filesystems" option to "false".
ERROR: Cannot continue the Analysis Phase until the previous errors are corrected.

When I look at fstab:

/dev/vg00/lvol3 / vxfs delaylog 0 1
/dev/vg00/lvol9 /core vxfs rw,suid,nolargefiles,delaylog,datainlog 0 2

Laurie,
Are you trying to install the patches from single user mode.You have only these two entries in fstab?
checkup if you can do a swlist without any error .
Then you can run swinstall with mount file systems option = false .
Refer swinstall man pages for full syntax.
This usually happens when you have any of the filesystems mentioned in fstab is not actually mounted .

Cheers
Karthik...

Well, first off, if that is the entire extent of your /etc/fstab file, you may have more serious issues. But, to get around your immediate problem try:

# swinstall -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s /path_to_depot/patchhname.depot \*

Silly question, but what do you see when you do a bdf or mount command?
do you see something like /dev/root /
for the root file system?
If so, you need to do:
rm /etc/mnttab
mount -a

then do mount or bdf to see if this reflects correctly.
