Does /dev/root should be remounted on 700 Series

Hi, Everybody
My question is :
LVLNBOOT command shows that "Root" partition is on /dev/vg00/lvol3 logical
volume.
In /etc/fstab file /dev/vg00/lvol3 also mounted to root
But MOUNT command shows that root partition "/" mounted on /dev/root device.
That incoincidence prevents Ignite's command save_config from successful
execution because /dev/root disk isn't treated as "Root" drive.

I remember that /dev/root primarily is mounted on root, but some after it's
remounted as /dev/vg00/lvol3.
But it isn't happened this time.

Please could you advice me how can I debug such a situation?

Thanks in advance,
Vassily Gorbounov

Re: Does /dev/root should be remounted on 700 Series

This situation can be resolved by using the following:
# mv /etc/mnttab /tmp/mnttab.old
# mount -a

The mount command will recreate the /etc/mnttab without reference to
/dev/root. The save_config will then be able to proceed.
