/dev/root

[unix-beheer]

I can't remember how to solve this problem. When I do a bdf the / filesystem displays like /dev/root instead of /dev/vg00/lvol3. How can I fix it?

check you /etc/mnttab. Remove/rename it and do mount all or mount -a. This will recreate the /etc/mnttab.

Also check lvlnboot -r

Hi,

mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab.org

do mount -a

Problem fixed.

Hi,

Try this:

# mv /etc/mnttab /etc/mnttab.save
# mount -a

Check to make sure that /dev/vg00/lvol3 is
set to be mounted on /

# bdf

This is caused after reboot or if you have tried booting into logical volume maintenance mode.

hp -lm at ISL prompt.

Thats true, by renaming mnttab and doing mount -a will make it allright but sometimes the problem is because of the root disk also.

I had the same problem which happened because of stale PE in the root disk. So have a look other wise the problem might appear again.
